Patent ID: 7958630

Claim:
A method for producing a device connector comprising: injecting resin into a primary molding die to form a primary molded body ( 20 ) with at least one pilot hole ( 24 ), at least one resin inflow opening ( 21 ) through the primary molded body ( 20 ) and at least one supporting projection ( 23 ); arranging at least one intermediate terminal ( 11 ) in the pilot hole ( 24 ) of the primary molded body ( 20 ) to form an intermediate product ( 40 ); providing a secondary molding die ( 50 ) with a cavity ( 51 ) and at least one resin inflow gate ( 52 ) communicating with the cavity ( 51 ); placing the intermediate product ( 40 ) in the secondary molding die ( 50 ) so that the supporting projection ( 23 ) contacts an inner surface of the cavity ( 51 ) and so that the resin inflow opening ( 21 ) substantially aligns with the gate ( 52 ); and injecting resin through the gate ( 52 ) and into the cavity ( 51 ) so that the resin flows through the resin inflow opening ( 21 ) to form a housing ( 10 ) with a unitary matrix of the resin surrounding at least part of the intermediate product ( 40 ) and passing through the intermediate product ( 40 ).
