Abstract
An asymmetric contact having a first end part for connection to an external conductor and a second end part for elastic coupling with another similar contact. The second end part (4) is offset to one side of the axis of the first end part (1, 2, 3) and to the coupling part (8) between them, and is substantially half the width of the first end part. A terminal strip includes two parallel rows of the contacts facing each other. The contacts are arranged in successive pairs, each pair including first and second type contacts in opposite rows and having their second end parts to the right and left sides, respectively, of a central axis of the first end part and the coupling part. A distance (d1) between the second end parts of each contact in a pair is less than a distance (d2) between the second end parts of adjacent contacts of two different pairs.
