Abstract: A right-angle connector having an array of angulate contact elements supported by a locking support member in frictional engagement with said connector. The array of angulate contact elements consists of at least two rows varying in extension and height. The locking support member is received into the open-ended rear surface of the connector and indents within the member are disposed to individually receive a contact element. The indents are volumetrically staggered to coincide with the array of contact elements.

Abstract: A stacked electrical connector having a plurality of connector bodies for connection to connectors of opposite gender and having contact elements which are arranged in a plurality of parallel rows for electrical contact with a printed circuit board or the like, each row being spaced apart from adjacent rows. A lower connector body has a first set of angulate contact elements extending from a face. An upper connector body has a second set of angulate contact elements and a separate face. Preferably, the contact elements are of opposite genders. The upper connector body is mounted directly atop the lower connector body, but the second set of contact elements are of longer extension relative to the faces. A pin extension member having a plurality of extension pins is slidably fit to the second set of contact elements. The first set of contact elements and the extension pins terminate at least closely adjacent a common plane for insertion into a circuit board.
