The module comprises a self-supporting plastic lead frame with copper ribbons disposed on the plastic frame . Pluralities of terminal connectors are separate from and movable relative to the frame for being connected to the terminals . The ribbons continue in a free and self-sustaining support portions between the frame and the terminal connectors and are bendable for allowing movement of the connectors relative to the frame . Each of the connectors includes a polymeric body defining a pair of the sockets with an electrical contact in each of the sockets and a pair of the bendable support portions paired with the contacts in each connector
