ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector (10) includes a row of contact blade portions (26) alternating with contact receptacle portions (20) all oriented orthogonally to said row, with the receptacle portions disposed in slots (22) of projections (24) of the housing (12) and adapted to receive corresponding blade portions into the slots of the projections from either side thereof. Each blade portion (26) is disposed in a recess (28) between adjacent projections (24) with the recess being slightly wider than a projection. The connector (10) is hermaphroditic and matable with another like connector (10A) by being moved transversely relative to the other with the blade portions (26) entering slots (22) of the other to be mated with receptacle portions (20) therein.
