Abstract
A method for producing contact jacks for electric plug-in connectors. The method comprises the steps of providing a continuous strip of a sheet metal material, as a supporting material, with a curvature that is limited on both sides by flat longitudinal edge regions or a comparable deformation that is directed longitudinally centrally and transversely to its plane; punching out a contact strip sequence with contacting strips having a width exceeding the width of the supporting material, while leaving spacing-assuring edge strips; undetachably connecting the contacting strips along respective longitudinal edge regions with the supporting material using a contact-assuring method; cutting off a sheath surface of a jack from a continuous strip of the sheet metal material, equipped with the contacting means, at a length corresponding to that of a jack, and rolling the surface into a jack; and bringing the curvature or comparable deformation into a stretching position such that the finished jack has a smooth cylindrical outer surface.
