Abstract
A method of making a pin header having pin contacts ( )( A, B) insert-molded in a parallelepiped insulating housing ( ), and penetrating it to form upper and lower rows. Each contact is integrally composed of a plugging rod ( ) extending horizontally and forwardly of the housing, a leg ( )( A, B) and a generally straight rearward extension ( ). The rod ( ) has a rear end exposed rearward from the housing and bent downward and rectangularly to provide the leg. Each leg has its lower end continuing to the extension ( ) to be surface-mounted on a printed circuit board. Only the legs ( A) from upper row have each an intermediate step ( ) between it and the extension, this step formed by rectangularly bending each leg outwardly at first and then downwardly. These legs ( A) are embedded in the housing ( ), with those steps ( ) being exposed together with extensions ( ).
