Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0196977A2] A multi contact connector comprises a ground terminal block (7) having branched connections (7a), and a connector portion (6) having a plurality of contacts (1,1 min ). The branched connections (7a) of the ground terminal block (7) are connected to some of the contacts (1) of the connector portion (6) to be grounded. A method of manufacturing a multi contact connector comprises steps of producing a ground terminal block (7) having branched connections (7a) to be connected to contacts (1) to be grounded in accordance with requirement of a circuit to be connected, and connecting the branched connections (7a) with distal ends (1a) of the contacts (1) of a connector portion (6) separately produced. In a process of producing the ground terminal block (7), a ground terminal block having branched connections (7a) at different locations according to requirement of a circuit to be connected is produced every time when the contacts (1) to be grounded are changed, or a ground terminal block (7) having a great number of branched connections (7a) commonly formed for requirement of various circuits is produced and then unnecessary branched connections are removed to form a ground terminal block having the branched connections only required for requirement of a specific circuit to be connected.
