ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR

An assembly of an electrical connector and several microcircuit modules is disclosed. The electrical connector comprises a hollow prismatic housing of electrically insulating plastics material having a plurality of parallel electrical conductors extending along the inner faces of its walls, the conductors having portions extending from a common end of the housing for connection to conductors on a substrate. The microcircuit modules are received in superposed relationship in the housing, and each module comprises a body having a plurality of leads extending therefrom. The leads are in contact with the conductors on the inner faces of the walls of the connector housing. The conductors are all uninterrupted throughout their length and at least some of the modules are allotted individually dedicated conductors. Each such module does not have loads connected to the conductors allotted to other modules but has a lead connected to the individually dedicated conductor. The conductors which are not individually dedicated to particular modules serve for connections to all the modules in the connector.
