Electrical connector receptacle comprises an insulating housing having a rearward end, a plug-receiving end, and a plug-receiving opening extending through the housing and between the ends. A plurality of side-by-side stamped and formed conductors are mounted in the housing with intermediate portions of the conductors extending through a conductor-receiving opening which is parallel to the plug-receiving opening. First end portions of these conductors are reversely bent at the plug-receiving end and extend obliquely into the plug-receiving opening. Second end portions of the conductors extend beyond the rearward end of the housing and across an apron which is integral with the housing. This apron has conductor positioning and retaining means thereon for retaining the conductors in spaced-apart predetermined locations and for securing the conductors to the housing. An improved manufacturing method is disclosed in which all of the conductors are assembled to the housing simultaneously.
