An electrical connector of the type receiving a male component lead is characterized by imposition of extremely small or no insertion forces on the male lead in order to make electrical connection. An elastically deformable contact strip forms at least one side of a cavity, and means are provided for deforming the contact strip in a lengthwise direction. When the contact strip is in its relaxed state, the male lead can be inserted freely in the cavity alongside the strip without significant insertion force. The contact strip has a curved portion with a contact area facing the inserted male lead, and a compressible portion connected at one end to the curved contact portion and being substantially fixed with respect to the cavity at the other end. As the contact strip is deformed lengthwise, the contact area tends to expand across the cavity to exert a contact force against the male lead, and the compressible portion shrinks in its lengthwise dimension, thereby wiping the contact area along the male lead for reliable film-removing electrical contact. The contact strip, in some examples, is formed with a portion having a second contact area which resiliently touches the opposite side of the male lead from that contacted by the first contact area.
