Contact carrier with a base body and at least one contact element, a tool for injection molding a contact carrier and a method for producing a contact carrier

1. A contact carrier, comprising:

a base body;

a plurality of contacts each having a holding section disposed within the base body; and

a tool channel extending continuously through the base body adjacent to the holding sections, the holding sections of the plurality of contacts are exposed in the single tool channel.

2. The contact carrier of claim 1 , wherein the tool channel has a tool channel wall that is flush with a surface of the holding section.

3. The contact carrier of claim 1 , wherein the contact has a contact section extending away from the base body.

4. The contact carrier of claim 3 , wherein the contact section has a thickened portion.

5. The contact carrier of claim 1 , wherein the contact carrier has a plurality of tool channels and the holding section of one of the contacts is exposed in the plurality of tool channels.

6. The contact carrier of claim 1 , wherein the holding section of one of the contacts is disposed between two tool channels.

7. The contact carrier of claim 1 , wherein the holding section has a bent section.

8. A tool for injection molding a contact carrier, comprising:

a contact tool having a receiver in which a contact section of a contact is disposed, the receiver including an opening surface; and

a body tool having a support extending in a demolding direction, the body tool movable in the demolding direction between an abutting position abutting the contact tool and a withdrawn position separated from the contact tool, the support having a front surface abutting an edge of the receiver, the front surface partially covering the receiver and reducing a cross-sectional area of the opening surface in the abutting position.

9. The tool of claim 8 , wherein the front surface and the opening surface form a separating surface in the abutting position.

10. The tool of claim 8 , wherein the contact tool has a plurality of receivers.

11. The tool of claim 10 , wherein a single support reduces the cross-sectional area of the opening surface of the plurality of receivers.

12. A method for producing a contact carrier, comprising:

inserting a contact into one of a plurality of receivers of a contact tool;

sealing the plurality of receivers simultaneously with a single support of a body tool extending in a demolding direction;

injection molding into a mold including the contact, the contact tool, and the body tool to form a contact carrier; and

removing the body tool in the demolding direction from the contact tool and the contact carrier.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein an opening surface of each of the receivers is sealed by a front surface of the support.

14. A contact carrier, comprising:

a base body;

a contact having a holding section disposed within the base body; and

a plurality of tool channels extending continuously through the base body adjacent to the holding section, the holding section exposed in the plurality of tool channels.

15. A contact carrier, comprising:

a base body;

a contact having a holding section disposed within the base body; and

a plurality of tool channels extending continuously through the base body adjacent to the holding section, the holding section disposed between two tool channels and exposed in the tool channels.
