The connector is intended for testing, connecting and isolating conductor tracks. It is possible with this invention to obtain a twofold utilizability and thus an inexpensive manufacture of the shell halves (2, 2a) of the universal connector (1) by the fact that in two identical shell halves (2, 2a) of the universal connector (1) there are provided with either two contact blades (3, 3a) or a printed board (4).
