Abstract
Abstract In the manufacture of an electrical component comprising a housing of a synthetic material and a row of connection tags, a strip material is punched to form a comb or grid in which the connection tags are interconnected by connection pieces extending between each two adjacent connection tags. After moulding the housing of synthetic material, the connection pieces, which are then situated between the free ends of the connection tags and the housing, are cut on one side and are subsequently bent so that they remain connected to the connection tags as harmless protrusions.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
161 words
A method of manufacturing an electrical component comprising a housing of a synthetic material and at least one row of connection tags formed from a strip material, which comprises punching the strip material to form a comb or grid which contains the connection tags interconnected by connection pieces, forming the housing of synthetic material in such a manner that a portion of each of the connection tags is anchored in the housing while leaving a free end of each tag together with the connection pieces external of the housing, each connection piece extending between two adjacent connection tags and in its entirety being situated nearer to the housing than the ends of the connection tags, separating the connection tags by cutting each connection piece in only one location so that on at least one of every two adjacent connection tags at least one protrusion remains, and subsequently bending each protrusion to enclose an angle with the plane of the connection tags.
