ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector having a housing with rows of offset interspaced contact receiving holes. The holes are angled along each row to facilitate interspacing of the holes with holes of adjacent rows. The electrical contacts are fabricated on a carry strip at an offset angle from the carry strip for simultaneous insertion into the angled holes of one of the rows of holes. Once the contacts are inserted into a row of the holes, the carry strip is removed. Angling the holes and interspacing them with holes in adjacent rows allows the spacing between the center paths of adjacent rows to be reduced. The offset angling of the contacts on the carry strips allows for fabrication of the contacts on the carry strip at a conventional pitch, but with nonetheless can be assembled to the housing to form a final contact spacing in the housing that is smaller than the conventional final contact spacing of prior art connectors. This allows for more contacts to be provided in the housing than in a similar size housing in prior art connectors.
