Abstract
An electrical connector having first and second coacting engagable parts for mating a plurality of spaced electrical contacts in which the system includes predictable alignment, contact force and wiping features. The connector may use flexible circuit tape as the contact elements in which a plurality of modules may be utilized to be aligned separately to avoid cumulative alignment errors. The flexible circuit tape may be a TAB type tape which is configured to allow the end user with the capability to program the signal/ground ratio of the interconnect.
