Abstract
A contact assembly formed from an array of insulated resilient solid wires arranged in spaced apart side-by-side relation to each other and retained in assembly by an ultrasonically assembled two-part carrier strip which extends transversely of the wire array. Notches formed in the wires by grinding define exposed conductive surfaces at selected locations. The conductive surfaces are plated with precious metal to define contact surfaces on the wires which are formed to contact configurations.
