A method and system for fabricating molded components which include a molded body and a plurality of electrically conductive leads protruding therefrom. These components are made by overlaying an anode lead frame having anode leads, on a cathode lead frame having cathode leads, and then depositing molding material on intersected anode and cathode leads. The molded components are manufactured in an assembly line process which includes a feeder to feed the anode and cathode lead frames and a molder to deposit the molding material. Preferably, these molded components are lamp tiles.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A method of fabricating at least one molded body having a plurality of electrically conductive leads protruding therefrom, said method including the steps of:providing a first lead frame segment defining a first aperture and including at least one first lead extending into said first lead frame aperture;providing a second lead frame segment defining a second aperture and including at least one second lead extending into said second lead frame aperture;overlaying said first and second lead frame segments above the other such that said first and second leads form an intersection in a plan view of said overlaid lead frame segments, and said first and second leads are spaced apart from each other at said intersection by a predetermined distance in a side view of said overlaid lead frame segments; anddepositing molding material in a predetermined pattern on said intersection, thereby forming said molded body wherein a portion of said first lead protrudes from said deposited molding material, and a portion of said second lead protrudes from said deposited molding material.
