Abstract
A pitch transition connector has identical contact elements having insulation-piercing contacts arranged in two rows and spaced at the pitch of a flat cable. Each contact element has a further contact opposite its insulation-piercing contact and axially offset therefrom. The contact elements in one row are in 180-degree out-of-phase relation with those in the other row defining a pitch for the further contacts different from the flat cable pitch.
