Abstract:
A hybrid electrical connector includes a housing having a central opening, a carrier plate supported by the housing within the central opening, and electrically conductive pins supported within the housing by the carrier plate. The housing is formed of a first plastic material, and the carrier plate is formed of a second plastic material having properties that make it more dimensionally stable than the first plastic material. In addition, a sealing layer is applied to one surface of the carrier plate, the sealing layer formed of a third plastic material and serving to secure the carrier plate to the housing and to secure the pins within the carrier plate. A method of forming the electrical connector is also described.

Claim (Index 13):
A method of fabricating an electrical connector comprising\n providing electrically conductive pins arranged in an array in which each pin is spaced apart from and parallel to adjacent pins of the array; performing a first overmolding procedure on the pins in which a carrier plate is provided, the carrier plate formed of a first plastic material that supports the pins in the arrayed configuration; performing a second overmolding procedure on the carrier plate in which a housing is provided, the housing formed of a second plastic material and surrounding a periphery of the carrier plate in such a way that an outer periphery of the carrier plate engages an inner periphery of the housing; and following the second overmolding procedure, applying a sealing layer formed of a third plastic material to one side of the carrier plate in such a way as to seal the pins to the carrier plate and seal the carrier plate to the housing.
