Abstract
An electrical connector includes a housing having a base and first and second parallel walls which are connected to the base. The first and second walls are spaced-apart to define a slot therebetween. The first wall has a thickness and an open portion which exposes the slot through the thickness of the first wall. The second wall has a thickness and an apertured portion which exposes the slot through the thickness of the second wall. The open portion is complementary to non-apertured portions of the second wall, and the apertured portion is complementary to non-open portions of the first wall. Multiple electrical connectors can be stacked by nesting the non-apertured portions of each connector in the open portion an adjacent connector, and nesting the non-open portions of each connector in the apertured portion of another adjacent connector.
