Claim:
1. A machine case comprising: a sink-like main portion and opposite deck stations by two ends of said main portion in a longitudinal direction; and a terminal module including: an insulator defining opposite top and bottom surfaces thereon in a vertical direction perpendicular to said longitudinal direction; a plurality of contacts retained to the insulator via a first insert molding process and arranged along a transverse direction perpendicular to both said longitudinal direction and said vertical direction, each of said contacts stamped and bent from sheet metal and unitarily formed with an upper contacting section exposed upon the top surface, and a lower contacting section exposed upon the bottom surface, each of said upper contacting section and said lower contacting section extending along said longitudinal direction; wherein each of the upper contacting section and the lower contacting section is planar and stationary; wherein one of said upper contacting section and said lower contacting section defines an exposed end for originally linking to a contact carrier; wherein the insulator forms a plurality of recesses originally formed between the contacting sections of neighboring contacts in at least one of the top and bottom surfaces during the first insert molding while successively filled with material by the corresponding deck station in which said terminal module is embedded.
