Abstract

A method of producing a low height connector, includes: removing an insulating covering from a first part of an electric wire; forming the electric wire into a predetermined shape in which the first part of the electric wire is bent; joining a terminal to a second part of the electric wire; and molding the electric wire to surround at least the first part and the second part of the electric wire with a housing to obtain the low height connector.

Claims (10)

1. A method of producing a low height connector, the method comprising:

selectively removing an insulating covering from first parts of an electric wire without removing the insulating covering from a second part of the electric wire disposed in between the first parts;

forming the electric wire into a predetermined shape in which each of the first parts of the electric wire is bent;

joining a terminal to the second part of the electric wire; and

molding the electric wire to surround at least the first parts and the second part of the electric wire with a housing to obtain the low height connector.

2. A low height connector comprising:

an electric wire in which an insulating covering is selectively removed from first parts of the electric wire without removing the insulating covering from a second part of the electric wire disposed in between the first parts, each of the first parts of the electric wire being bent;

a terminal which is joined to the second part of the electric wire; and

a housing which surrounds at least the first parts and the second part of the electric wire.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the forming of the electric wire into the predetermined shape comprises bending each of the first parts at approximately right angles.
