(57) An electrical connector (10) is provided and includes an insulative base module (12) having a plurality of holes (16). At least two sets of electrical circuits (34,38) are disposed within the thickness of the base module. The two sets of electrical circuits are insulatively separated from each other. Each set includes a plurality of circuits (44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58), and each circuit has a lead portion (24) for electrical connection with a complementary terminal of a mating connector device (62). Each circuit in each set of circuits includes a contact portion (44c, 44e, 46c, 46e, 48c, 48e, 50c, 50e, 52c, 52e, 54c, 54e, 56c, 56e, 58c, or 58e) exposed in a respective one of the holes in the base module. Therefore, a terminating device (64) inserted into any one of the holes in the base module will engage a contact portion of one of the circuits in both sets thereof.
