An electrical lead includes a substrate-receiving section which has a collapsible rear plate (22) and a plurality of outwardly projecting prongs or arms (24, 26). The prongs are spaced apart to define a gap (30) having an opening slightly larger than the width of the substrate to be engaged. A substrate is inserted into the gap between the prongs so that the prongs are spaced on either side of the substrate. The rear plate of the lead is then compressed so that the prongs engage and tightly grip the substrate from opposite sides. Alternatively, the prongs may pivot upon the application of force to engage the substrate. |
