In the manufacture of an electrical component comprising a housing of a synthetic material and a row of connection tags, a strip material is punched to form a comb or grid in which the connection tags are interconnected by connection pieces extending between each two adjacent connection tags. After moulding the housing of synthetic material, the connection pieces, which are then situated between the free ends of the connection tags and the housing, are cut on one side and are subsequently bent so that they remain connected to the connection tags as harmless protrusions.
