Method of manufacturing an electric connector

Abstract

A method of manufacturing an electric connector includes: providing a metal strip and stamping on the metal strip at a stamping station to obtain a terminal set; packaging and conveying the terminal set to an electroplating station; electroplating and conveying the terminal set to an assembling station; bending and assembling the terminal set into the insulator. The bending operation of the terminal set is transferred to be carried out on the assembling station after the electroplating operation, and is prevented from being carried out at the stamping station. On the one hand, the structure of the terminal set can be kept flat after stamping, which can improve the packaging efficiency and the packaging quantity. On the other hand, the relatively flat structure of the terminal set is more conducive to electroplating treatment, which can improve the electroplating quality and prevent the terminal from deforming.
