Claim:
1. A molding method for making a connector housing, the housing formed of a resin material consisting essentially of a polybutylene terephthalate reinforced with fibers, the polybutylene terephthalate having a flexural modulus of 5000 to 7000 MPa as measured by ASTM D790 and a bar flow length of 80 to 130 mm, the method comprising: closing a mold at the start of a mold cycle, injecting the resin material into the mold, holding the resin material in the mold under pressure for a defined period, cooling the mold, and after the mold cooling step, opening the mold, wherein based on the use of the resin material having the flexural modulus and the bar flow length, the mold cooling step time is significantly less than the time duration sum for the mold injecting step and the pressure holding step.
