Abstract:
An electrical connector includes a contact module integrally enclosed within an insulative outer cover via an over-molding process. The outer cover includes a base and a mating tongue extending from the base. The mating tongue includes a pair of mating surfaces. The contact module includes a body located in the base and the extension extending from the body and located within the mating tongue. The body forms at least one positioning hole through which the core pin of the over-molding mold extends. The positioning hole is dimensioned/configured to have the corresponding core pin snugly restrained in the first horizontal direction while loosely confined in the second horizontal direction perpendicular to the first horizontal direction.

Claim (Index 16):
An arrangement for making a complete electrical connector via an over-molding process, comprising:\n a contact module including a plurality of contacts integrally formed within an insulative housing via an insert-molding process; a first positioning hole formed in the housing and extending in a vertical direction; a pair of metallic reinforcing pieces securely located upon two opposite surfaces of the contact module in said vertical direction; a mold for said over-molding process, including a core pin extending through said first positioning hole in the vertical direction; wherein said pin is snugly restrained in the first positioning hole in a first horizontal direction while being loosely retained therein in a second horizontal direction so as to allow the contact module to be slight moveable with regard to the mold in the second horizontal direction, said first horizontal direction and said second horizontal direction being perpendicular not only to each other but also both to the vertical direction.
