An electrical connecting device for two electrical components which, when assembled, have electrical contact areas facing each other. The electrical connecting device comprises: a plurality of metallic connecting elements, each connecting element having first and second contact portions resiliently compressible against each other; and a flexible dielectric carrier sheet for the connecting elements, a portion of each connecting element being attached to the carrier sheet. Each connecting element comprises a strip of material having a bend at an intermediate portion. In the device, the connecting elements are resiliently compressible against each other, independent of any supporting structure. A rigid supporting structure is accordingly not required.
