Abstract
A device is disclosed for making an electrical connection of the contacts of a D-type connector with the conductors of a multi-conductor flat cable assembly, where the pitch of the conductors in the cable assembly is different from that in the D-type connector, and the pitch ratio is not an integer. Contacts employed in the assembly have a portion intermediate conductor contacting end portions and which enables altering the relationship between the end portions in three directions to accommodate the difference in pitch between the conductors connected to one set of contact ends, and the conductors connected to the other set of contact ends, and yet provide the same degree of depth or penetration of contact ends for all of them.
