ABSTRACT:
A double-ended electrical contact includes a selectively bendable central portion arranged to permit the opposing ends of the contact to be selectively offset from one another along parallel axes and generally within a common plane. In one embodiment, the central portion comprises a pair of spaced struts connecting the two ends of the contact together and arranged to define a parallelogram to retain the original axial orientation of each end of the contact after offset. The contacts may be selectively offset and disposd in a contact housing having differently pitched apertures in its upper and lower portions, respectively, to provide mating electrical engagement between differently pitched conductive elements such as a flat cable having a first given spacing between conductors, and a pin or socket connector having a second given spacing between its elements different than the spacing between the flat cable conductors.
