Abstract
Structures and methods that simplify the assembly of connector inserts. One example may provide a connector insert having a termination block that is arranged to receive an end of a cable. The termination block may provide a first number of conductors in a first row and a second number of conductors in a second row. The termination block may be stepped such that the first number of conductors emerge from the termination block at a different position along their lengths than the second number of conductors. The first number of conductors may then attach to a first side of a printed circuit board or other connector portion, while the second number of conductors may then attach to a second side of the printed circuit board or other connector portion.
