An edge connector assembly (1) for interconnecting two printed circuit boards (2) in such manner as to maintain a one-to-one correspondence with the opposite sides of the boards, the assembly (1) including a flexible substrate (10) carrying a conductor pattern (10A) which connects with contact areas (12) and the substrate (10). The substrate (10) is folded or flexed about two support strips (11) such that the parts of the substrate (10) wrapped around the strips (11) provide the edge connector (5) and other parts of the substrate (10) maintain the edge connections (5) in spaced relationship. The various contacts (12) are so positioned on the substrate (10) that they are located on opposite faces of the edge connectors (5). Plated through holes (27,28) are formed in the substrate to provide any required electrical connection through the substrate (10).
