Abstract
A connector system for connecting together selectable pairs of terminal posts from two matrices of pairs of terminal posts mounted upon a common substrate and in which the columns and rows are interleaved. A first type connector housing configuration is employed to connect together a given pair of posts from a given row in a first matrix to a second adjacent pair of posts in the adjacent row of the second matrix. A second type connector having a second configuration is employed to connect a first pair of posts, such as said given pair of posts, to a third pair of posts which are adjacent said second pair of posts in said adjacent row of said second matrix. The configurations of the housing envelope of said first and second type connectors are constructed to fit together, side-by-side, in whatever arrangement they are placed on the post matrices to be able to cover substantially the entire surface of said substrate, thereby obtaining the maximum size and strength for said connector housings for the densely populated matrices of terminal posts.
