A continuous strip (200) of electrical component assemblies (22) is disclosed, together with method of manufacturing thereof. The components are made by stamping a metal strip to form an intermediate article having a plurality of first and second members (28, 38) integrally extending therefrom and joined thereto at spaced locations therealong. Each first member (28) has at least one second member (38) associated with and adjacent to it. The second members (38) include locating means (42) for enabling at least third members (56) to be assembled to the first members (28) in a precisely located relationship. The first members (28) may also include further locating means (37) for fourth members (46) to be included in the assembly. The strip thus provides its own fixturing means for precisely locating the various members of electronic component assemblies.
