Claim 0:
1. A method of making an electrical connector, comprising the steps of:
inserting one or more contacts into a temporary contact holder prior to removably coupling the temporary contact holder to a connector housing, the temporary contact holder configured to temporarily hold the one or more contacts in an orientation such that the one or more contacts are arranged in a ready position for mating with a complementary connector;
removably coupling the temporary contact holder with a connector housing, thereby creating a pour receiving cavity inside of the connector housing;
adding a flowable curable material into the pour receiving cavity to at least partially fill the pour receiving cavity and surround at least part of the one or more contacts that extend through the pour receiving cavity with termination contacts ends of the one or more contacts being exposed; and
removing the temporary contact holder from the connector housing, thereby leaving mating contact ends of the one or more contacts exposed and set in the ready position for mating.
