Abstract
A contacting apparatus for interconnecting first and second groups of conductors has a first group of conductors lying in a plane parallel with a longitudinal axis. A first conductor is spaced a first distance from the axis. A second conductor has a first portion spaced a second distance from the axis, the second distance being greater than the first distance, and a second portion on an opposite side of the axis from the first portion and spaced from the axis by a distance equal to the second distance. The first and second portions are electrically connected together. A connection module has a second longitudinal axis and contact points for making electrical connections with the conductors of the first group. The contact points include a first contact point spaced from the second longitudinal axis by a distance equal to one of the first and second distances, and second and third contact points on opposite sides of the second longitudinal axis and spaced from the second axis by distances equal to the other of the first and second distances. A second group of conductors includes a third conductor electrically connected to the first contact point and a fourth conductor electrically co…
