  • the contact elements 13 are stitched either entirely into respectively channels 21 as shown in Figure 1, or, after the bridge 61 is selectively severed on either side of the contact pin 62, to provide various interconnections to the paths on the printed circuit board 15 as described below.
  • the portion 57 may also be severed after receipt in the housing to remove the second printed circuit board contact portion 55 when connection to only one side of the printed circuit board 15 is required.
