Abstract
An offset adapter connector for use with a plug-in device, such as the line (L) relay of an originating register, that allows connections to be made to the terminals of the device and to the terminals of the socket into which the device is normally plugged is disclosed. The offset adapter connector includes an elongate housing having mounted therein, in axially offset positions, a plug and a socket. The connector plug fits into the socket into which the plug-in device is normally plugged and the plug-in device fits into the connector socket. Due to the side-by-side position of the connector plug andsocket, the plug-in device is offset from its normal position. While offset, the plug-in device retains its normal orientation, (e.g., vertical). As necessary, the connector plug and socket are wired together and to a cable suitable for making connections to related electronic circuitry.
