A compact multi-contact plug and socket

摘要

An electrical connector has a plug (8.08.070) and a socket (9.002). The plug has a plurality of adjacent plug contacts (8.052, 8.054), the contact sections of the plug contacts being staggered axially. The socket (9.002) has the socket contacts (12.064) staggered axially to facilitate a compact transverse dimension of the connector.
