    摘要: A method of making an electrical connector which includes an insulative housing having a tongue with two opposite surfaces and plural contacts with contacting portions exposed to the two opposite surfaces of the tongue is characterized by the steps of: forming the plurality of contacts from a single contact carrier to have one group of contacts thereof each with a respective contacting portion connected to a first carrier strip and the other group of contacts thereof each with a respective contacting portion connected to a second carrier strip situated beside the first carrier strip; insert-molding the plurality of contacts with an insulator to form the insulative housing while exposing front ends of the plurality of contacts; and severing the first carrier strip and the second carrier strip from the front ends of the plurality of contacts.
