Patent ID: 7650695

Claim:
A method of assembling conductive terminals of a plurality of electrical connectors, comprising the steps of: (1) providing at least two housings which are overlapping up and down, wherein each housing has a terminal receiving portion opened sideward and the terminal receiving portion includes at least two fixing holes extending forward from a rear end of the housing and at least two guiding holes formed in the rear end of the housing, each guiding hole partially overlapping one of the fixing holes; (2) providing a terminal carrier structure with a carrier, wherein at least two conductive terminal groups are alternately disposed on the carrier and each conductive terminal group has at least two conductive terminals each of which has a free end extending from, and there is height difference between the position of each free end of one of the conductive terminal groups and the position of each free end of the other conductive terminal group, and each free end of each conductive terminal group corresponds to one of the guiding holes of one of the terminal receiving portions, respectively; (3) disposing the terminal carrier structure behind the overlapping at least two housings so that the free end of each conductive terminal is located behind one of the guiding holes, respectively; (4) pushing the terminal carrier structure so that the free end of each conductive terminal is inserted into the corresponding fixing hole along the corresponding guiding hole; and (5) removing the carrier so that each conductive terminal is separated from the carrier and each housing and the conductive terminal group engaged in the housing form one electrical connector.
