A hybrid connector, comprising a housing having a contact side for making contact to a further connector, a connection side for connecting an electrical wiring and a flat substrate which is situated on the connection side of the connector. This substrate is provided with a plurality of hybrid circuit components, having connecting electrode patches. The contact elements of the connector are formed by parallel, electrically conducting contact tracks on a flexible film, which film extends over a supporting body from the contact side to the connection side of the connector. Assemblies of spring strips being provided, supported by the supporting body, for exerting a force on the film, such that its contact tracks make electrical contact to the corresponding contact electrodes or wiring electrodes of the further connector, the electrical wiring and the flat hybrid substrate. By using a special support frame for the substrate, a solder-free connector is provided.
