ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector comprises a first connector half having two rows of first contacts in an insulative housing and a second connector half having two rows of second contacts in an insulative housing. When the second connector half is fitted with the first connector half, the second contacts mate with the first contacts. In addition to these contacts, a plurality of third contacts are provided with a predetermined pitch extending between the first contacts in the first connector half, and a plurality of fourth contacts are provided with the same pitch extending between the second contacts in the second connector half. The fourth contacts are positioned in such a way that when the first connector half and the second connector half are fitted together, the fourth contacts will be offset in the direction of their alignment with respect to the third contacts by a distance of half the pitch. As a result, when both connector halves are fitted together, respective third contacts engage respective fourth contacts positioned on the right and left, one after another, whereby the third contacts and the fourth contacts are connected consecutively in a zigzag pattern in the longitudinal direction of their alignment.
