Method of making an electrical connector

An electrical connector has a hard base part forming at least one rearwardly and forwardly open seat and formed with a transverse passage extending across the seat generally at the rear seat end, a respective contact in the seat having a front end and a rear end, a respective wire projecting into the rear end of the seat and connected there to the rear contact end, and a soft jacket encapsulating a rear end of the base part and front ends of the wires and extending at least partially into the rear seat ends. This connector is made by fitting a flow-blocking bar through the passage into a position blocking forward flow in the seat to the front contact end. The rear end of the part and the bar are then enclosed in a cavity of a mold to be filled with hardenable resin.
