Summary:PURPOSE: An insert-molded electrical connector is provided to prevent the formation of a burr or resin film on the exposed contact surface of conductive terminals. CONSTITUTION: An electrical connector(10) is provided having a plurality of conductive terminals(15) insert-molded with a housing(30). Each of the terminals has a reduced-thickness tip portion(40) having a stepped profile(42). The stepped profile(42) has a non-curved corner that meets an exposed contact surface(38) of the terminal. The corner of the terminal remains positioned against a wall of a mold cavity during the insert-molding process but permits the tip portion(40) to be embedded in the housing material for secure mounting. The terminal advantageously avoids the formation of a burr or resin film on the exposed contact surface(38) during insert-molding. Such a connector is useful, for example, in miniature size connector applications wherein the terminals are small and lack significant rigidity needed to permit easy assembly with a pre-formed housing.
