Abstract (en)
A branch connector (2) for interconnection of orthogonally disposed flat flexible cables (4, 6) comprises a plurality of IDC terminals (34) having pairs of IDC slots (42, 52) for good electrical connection. The terminals (34) are mounted on an intermediate housing (12) such that they overlap in order to provide for a compact design. Contact between adjacent terminals is avoided by stepping a base portion (58) of a second IDC section (38) down from a base portion (46) of a first IDC section (36). Advantageously therefore, cables with small pitches can be interconnected whilst providing a pair of IDC slots per connection to each cable for good conductivity therebetween. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
