Method of manufacturing photoelectric conversion connectors, as well as photoelectric conversion connector and photoelectric conversion connector device utilizing same

Abstract

The following steps are provided: encapsulating a series of connector components arranged in a column direction among multiple connector components on a support member that are arranged in each direction, respectively, in a row direction and in a column direction, in a state of substantial isolation from connector components adjacent to the series of connector components in the row direction using a first resin member; dicing the multiple connector components on the support member encapsulated using the first resin member into row units in the row direction; molding the multiple connector components on the support member, which have been encapsulated using the above-mentioned first resin member and diced, using a second resin member on a column-by-column basis; and dicing off the multiple molded connector components on the support member in the column direction one by one.
