Abstract: This invention is directed to a packaging system, discrete packages or continuous tape, for electrical connectors, or the like, comprising an elongated, essentially planar sheet or strip-like member, where said member includes one or more longitudinal rows of cavities on each side thereof. Each cavity is suitable for containing an electrical connector, or the like. A portion of said sheet or strip-like member is skewed at an angle relative to the longitudinal direction of said member to form a common wall for a pair of said opposing cavities. Each cavity is further defined by a pair of side walls joined together by an end wall. The system further includes a flexible restraining strip for maintaining said connectors, or the like, in said cavities. The strip comprises an elongated strip overlying said connectors, or the like, where each said strip is operable for securing along a longitudinal row of cavities, and is joined to an opposing such strip operable for securing the opposing row of cavities.
