Abstract
A connector comprises a socket and a plug. The socket is located on the edge of a printed circuit card and comprises two contact tabs at different distances from the edge. A housing is placed near the tabs to receive the plug and to hold two electrically interconnected spring contact blades in contact with the tabs. If the plug is inserted one way up into the socket, its blades are connected to respective ones of the tabs, therby establishing a connection. Alternatively, if the plug is inserted the other way up, the tabs of the socket are interconnected by the first spring contact blade of the plug, thereby establishing parallel connection.
