Abstract

A multi-circuit connector (5) to receive edge contacts of plug-in modules (4) and make electrical contacts with a printed board (2). The connector (5) comprises means (20) to achieve a floating mount in a support (11) having lateral spring tabs (19) and contact clips (6) which project forwardly in parallel rows to make circuit with the board (2). The clips (6) are bent (24) to improve resilience along their own axis to reduce stress on the board (2) when a male module (4) is inserted. Two or more embodiments are disclosed.
