Abstract
An electrical connector having a plurality of contacts divided into three groups based on height and location where the first group is tall in a peripheral array, the second group is short in the peripheral array and the third group is short in a smaller inner array. A first electrically conductive plate is mounted to the first group of contacts and fastened by screws which are received in central longitudinal threaded holes in the first group of contacts. In a like manner, a second electrically conductive plate is connected to the third group of contacts using screws which are received in central longitudinal holes of the short contacts. Each of the plates has a central opening which is fitted with a screw which allows electrical connections to be made with other circuitry or components.
