Abstract
A connector (2) has a first card receiving slot (16) and a second card receiving slot (32). The first card receiving slot is for connection to a circuit board with the ISA standard, and the second slot is for connection to a circuit board with the PCI standard. The terminals (24, 38) and terminal receiving cavities (28, 36) of the first and second slots are offset (P3) with respect to each other such that the cavities interleave in a central portion (60) of the housing between the slots. The latter enables provision of a small spacing D between the slots (16, 32).
