Connector and manufacturing method thereof
View Patent ↗A connector includes: a connecting member including a plurality of tab sections and made of a conductive metal material; and a housing which is made of resin and in which the connecting member is insert-molded. Terminals of a counterpart connector are connectable to the tab sections by a connection of the counterpart connector. A side of the connecting member of the housing opposite to a protruding direction of the tab sections is used as a resin charging gate section from which the resin is charged.
1. A connector comprising:
a connecting member comprising a plurality of tab sections and made of a conductive metal material; and
a housing which is made of resin and in which the connecting member is insert-molded,
wherein terminals of a counterpart connector are connectable to the tab sections by a connection of the counterpart connector, and
wherein a side of the housing opposite to a protruding direction of the tab sections includes a resin charging gate section from which the resin is charged.
2. A manufacturing method of a connector,
the connector comprising:
a connecting member including a plurality of tab sections and made of a conductive metal material; and
a housing which is made of resin and in which the connecting member is insert-molded,
wherein terminals of a counterpart connector being connected to the tab sections by the connection of the counterpart connector,
said manufacturing method comprising:
holding the connecting member in a mold for molding the housing;
providing a gate on a side of the mold that is opposite to a protruding direction of the tab sections; and
molding the housing by charging molten resin into the mold from the gate.
