ABSTRACT:
An electrical interconnect system includes an insulative substrate, and a plurality of groups of electrically conductive contacts arranged on the substrate. The contacts are electrically isolated from one another, and the groups are interleaved among one another in a nested configuration. The system also includes a plurality of receiving-type interconnect components each for receiving one of the groups of contacts within that component. The nested configuration of the groups of contacts maintains the contacts in close proximity to one another and, at the same time, allows adequate clearance between the contacts so that each group may be received within one of the receiving-type interconnect components. In one embodiment, a device is provided to reduce the insertion force associated with mating by separating the contacts of the receiving-type interconnect components just prior to mating.
