Abstract
A carrier plate for forming a plug contact of an electrical connector assembly includes a plurality of contacts (,) and carriers (,) connecting the contacts together. Each contact forms a body (,) and several tails (,) extending from the body. Each body comprises an upper portion (,) and a lower portion (,) having the same shape. A hole (,) is disposed in the upper and lower portions proximate the tails for guiding the carrier plate during a bending process and for inspecting the qualty of the contact after the bending process is complete. The carriers connect the tails together for facilitating manufacture of the contacts and reducing costs.
