Abstract:
A method for manufacturing an insert molding having a conductor member in which a part thereof is coated with resin comprising the steps of:introducing the conductor member into a fixation member of a preformed holding member; securely supporting a predetermined portion of the conductor member by the fixation member provided in the preformed holding member, the preformed holding member having a length substantially less than a length of the conductor member; grasping the preformed holding member supporting the conductor member by a mold so as to accommodate a portion of the conductor member to be coated with resin, other than a portion to be utilized as a contact point, wherein a length of said portion of the conductor to be coated with resin is greater than a length of said preformed holding member; injecting the resin into an inside of the mold, and coating the conductor member and the preformed holding member accommodated in the mold, excluding said predetermined portion, with the injected resin, wherein the fixation member is formed substantially into a C-shape for receiving the conductor member; and wherein the opening defined by the C-shaped fixation member is smaller than a width of the conductor member, such that when the conductor member is introduced to the opening, the C-shaped fixation member is elastically deformed.
