be offset from the longitudinal axis of the terminal pin 14 as shown in fig3 a typical series 34 d 34 connector includes a female receptacle 24 a cover 26 and optionally a strain relief 28 a multiconductor flat insulated cable 30 comprising a plurality of insulated conductors 32 disposed in coplanar side by side relation is inserted into the connector with the conductors 32 in alignment with slots 20 of their respective terminals 12 in practice terminals 12 of a series 34 d 34 connector are arranged in staggered parallel rows as shown so that the center spacing of terminal slots 20 is 0 0545 inches 1 37 mm the typical center spacing of the conductors 32 of a flat cable 30 is 0 050 inches 1 27 mm according to the present invention the terminals 12 are rotated about their longitudinal axes to a predetermined angle u03b1 relative to the transverse axis of base 10 so that the center spacing of slots 20 shown as 34 d 34 in fig2 coincide with the center spacing of conductors 32 the angle u03b1 may be determined by principles of plane geometry known to those skilled in the art as shown in fig2 the rows of terminals are disposed in opposed orientation to each.
