摘要:
The disclosure relates to an electrical connector assembly comprising a strip of dielectric material from which integral tubular members extend. A heat stabilized plastic insert is positioned within each tubular member, either in strip form or otherwise. Electrical terminal members are positioned within the sleeve to form electrical connectors for connection with conductive members, the strip defining a feeding device for feeding the connectors in the crimping areas of crimping devices.

Housings for electrical connecting devices, such as terminals on the ends of wires, are provided in the form of a continuous strip of unassembled housings in side-by-side relationship. The leading housing of the strip is applied to a connecting device by means of an apparatus which assembles the housing to the connecting device and ultrasonically welds meeting edges of the housing to each other.

CONNECTORS INCLUDING A PLASTIC COVERED METAL ELEMENT ARE MANUFACTURED BY THEREMOFORMING FLAT STOCK PLASTIC SHEET MATERIAL ONTO A MANDREL OF AN APPROPRIATE CONFIGURATION AND THEN CUTTING AWAY PORTIONS OF THE FORMED SHEET TO PROVIDE AN ARTICLE OF A DESIRED CONFIGURATION. THE MANDREL IS MADE TO CARRY THE METAL ELEMENT WHICH IS LOCKED INTO THE PLASTIC COVERING BY REASON OF A VACUUM DRAWM THROUGH HOLES IN THE MANDREL DURING FORMING. IN ONE EMBODIMENT A PREFORMED METAL ELEMENT IS ITSELF USED AS THE MANDREL WITH THE PLASTIC SHEET MATERIAL THEREMOFORMED AROUND A PORTION THEREOF AND THEN TRIMMED TO PROVIDE A FINAL ARTICLE CONFIGURATION. ASSEMBLIES OF PLASTIC COVERED ELEMENTS ARE PROVIDED BY LEAVING A PORTION OF THE THEREMOFORMED STRIP AS A WEB BETWEEN INDIVIDUAL ELEMENTS OR ALTERNATIVELY, THEREMOFORMING INSULATING SHEET MATERIAL ONTO STRIPS OF METAL ELEMENTS JOINED BY A WEB OF SHEET METAL STOCK FROM WHICH THE ELEMENTS WERE INITIALLY FORMED.
