An electrical assembly removably and blindly matable to a second assembly includes upper and lower subassemblies and an electrical subassembly connected therewith. Each of the upper and lower subassemblies has a cover and a circuit board with an electrical connector mounted thereto for releasably connecting to respective first and second ends of the electrical subassembly. The electrical subassembly includes first and second flexible connection means extending from the first and second ends to respective connections with a third electrical connector, the first and second flexible connection means interconnecting selected electrical contact means of the third connector to corresponding contact means in respective connectors of the upper and lower subassemblies. The third connector is mounted in a precise alignment along an engaging face of the first assembly such that contact means of the third connector are exposed along the first assembly engaging face, the third connector being configured to mate in a disconnectable manner with complimentary contact means of a complementary connector exposed along a corresponding engaging face of the second assembly upon said first and second assemblies being nested with each other.
