ABSTRACT:
A stacked electrical connector having a plurality of connector bodies for connection to connectors of opposite gender and having contact elements which are arranged in a plurality of parallel rows for electrical contact with a printed circuit board or the like, each row being spaced apart from adjacent rows. A lower connector body has a first set of angulate contact elements extending from a face. An upper connector body has a second set of angulate contact elements and a separate face. Preferably, the contact elements are of opposite genders. The upper connector body is mounted directly atop the lower connector body, but the second set of contact elements are of longer extension relative to the faces. A pin extension member having a plurality of extension pins is slidably fit to the second set of contact elements. The first set of contact elements and the extension pins terminate at least closely adjacent a common plane for insertion into a circuit board. A locking support member is inserted into the rear opening of at least one connector body. The locking support member provides support for the staggered rows of contact elements.
