A plastic leaded chip carrier connector of a base having a plurality of apertures for receiving and orienting a plurality of wire pins therein, and a plurality of wire pins each of a predetermined configuration lockingly engaged within a corresponding aperture of the base for transmitting electrical information therethrough. A method for making such connectors by aligning the base with a wire feed device, advancing one end of a wire from the wire feed device on one side of the base through an aperture in the base to the opposite side of the base, forming a predetermined configuration of the wire end, retracting the formed wire into the aperture to lockingly engage said formed wire end therein, cutting the wire to form a pin locked in the aperture, and repeating the previous steps to form a pin in each aperture of the base. Also, an apparatus for carrying out this method to manufacture the desired connectors.
