An electrical lead frame comprised of a plurality of spaced generally rigid commercially available conductors, each generally continuous and uniform with a rectangular or circular cross-section. The conductors are arranged in a planar array and each bent to provide a mounting portion for mounting to the connector shell and a generally reversed J-shaped portion having the long side connected to and depending from the mounting portion. The bottom of the reversed J-shaped portion forms a connector portion for connection to the circuit board with the reversed J-shaped portion then terminated in a free end portion extending upwardly from the connector portion. The array of conductors is held in spatial registration by chemical film strip means inter-fastened to the conductor's adjacent free end portions of the conductors and affixed in a direction generally perpendicular to the direction of the conductors. The film strip has a width in the direction of alignment of the conductors that is very small in proportion to the total length of the conductors and a thickness that approximates the thickness of the conductors except at the point of intersection of the strip with the conductor At this intersection the film about the conductor provides increased thickness providing greater stability for minimal skewing or misalignment of the conductors during handling.
