Abstract

A method of making a micro coaxial connector comprises the steps of: providing a number of terminals (20), assembling the terminals to an insulative first housing (10) to achieve a semi finished connector (100′), and molding the semi finished connector to a finished connector (100) with additional melt plastic. The melt plastic is formed into a second housing (13) and the terminals are retained by the first and second housings.

Claims

1. An electrical connector comprising:

a first insulative housing defining a plurality of passageways;

a plurality of terminals inserted into the corresponding passageways, respectively, without substantial retention therebetween;

a second insulative housing injected into the first housing initially in a melt manner, and attached to not only the first housing but also the corresponding terminals after solidified,

wherein said first housing provides a stop face abutting against a rear end of the terminal;

wherein the first housing has a base and a tongue portion extending from the base, and the passageways extends from the tongue portion into the base; and

wherein the base has a cavity between the terminals and the passageways for receiving the second housing therein.

2. An electrical connector comprising:

a first insulative housing defining a passageway assembly;

a plurality of terminals disposed in the passageway assembly;

a second insulative housing inserted into a cavity of the first housing in a melt manner, and attached to not only the first housing but also the corresponding terminal after; and

wherein said first housing provides a stop face abutting against a rear end of the terminal,

wherein the first housing has a base and a tongue portion extending from the base, and the passageway assembly extends from the tongue portion into the base; and

wherein the cavity accommodating the second housing is formed between the terminals and the passageways assembly.
