An electrical connector (20) includes fine wires (44) adhesively bound to an insulating film (42) to form a contact strip (40) inelastically formed into a generally C-shaped configuration to provide an electrical interconnection between the contact pads (14) of a printed circuit board (12) and the contact pads (54) of an electrical component (52). An insulating housing comprised of insulating members (24) includes interior surfaces configured to receive the contact strip (40) and retain such in position with the elements being held together by a frame (22) and a plate (60) in conjunction with fasteners (18) holding the assembly of parts to the circuit board (12).
