Patent ID: 7407613

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a locking device for an electric contact in a through-opening with two ends, namely a mating side and a connection side, an adjacent insertion compartment in an insulating body of a connector housing using an injection-moulding tool for a plug-type connector, wherein the through-opening in the insulating body is realized via two mould cores that partially encompass one another, namely a first mould core and a second mould core that are arranged within the injection-moulding tool forming the housing, wherein the two mould cores can be respectively removed from the through-opening in axially opposite directions after the injection-moulding of the insulating body, and wherein the mould cores are shaped such that clips featuring clip-on edges are formed on the two ends of the through-opening, wherein the first mould core has a roughly oval shape, and in that the second mould core is realized in the form of a U-shaped sleeve that can be pushed on and essentially encompasses the first mould core on three side.
