Abstract
A commoning element for electrically interconnecting a row of electrical contacts within a connector housing block is disclosed. A plurality of contact members are seated within a row of housing block cavities which are accessible from an upper surface of the housing block. The commoning element, comprising an elongate helical spring, is axially positioned across the row of cavities and subsequently compressed downwardly by a cover plate, whereupon commoning electrical engagement between coils of the helical spring and the contact members is established.
