Abstract

Stackable connector modules comprise adjacent interleaving wall portions. The interleaving wall portions enable the modules to be stacked together at a small pitch, because only one wall thickness separates the modules. The wall portions are necessary for providing mechanical rigidity and electrical separation of rows of contacts in the cavities.
