Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A connector comprises a base insulator, a plurality of elongated plate shaped contacts arranged on the base insulator, and a cover insulator arranged to hold the contacts in cooperation with the base insulator and welded to the base insulator, the base insulator is provided with a pair of openings arranged to face each other across each of holders and to intersect with the direction in which the holders are arranged.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A connector manufacturing apparatus comprising: a welding unit welding a pair of convex holders of a base insulator arranged to hold each contact comprising two sides and interposed between the holders at the two sides of the contact, to a cover insulator placed to hold the contact in cooperation with the base insulator, by applying laser through the cover insulator with the contact being thus held; an observation unit observing amounts of a molten material flowing out of the cover insulator and base insulator and flowing into a pair of openings arranged to face each other across each of the holders and to intersect with the direction in which the holders are arranged; and a feedback unit adjusting the subsequent laser irradiation conditions based on the amounts of the molten material.
