Thus the current capacity is limited by the longer path of the outermost circuit In Figure 3 this is circuit 1, 101. For the same current die heat generated in circuit 1, 101 will be higher than in circuit 2, 102. It would be desirable to provide a connector that balanced both circuits.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DISCLOSED EMBODIMENTS
Referring to the Figures, it will be appreciated that the invention may be implemented in various forms and modes. The following description of the disclosed embodiment of the invention is given by way of example only.
Referring to Figures 1 to 6, the connector of the present invention is illustrated. The plug 10 of the present invention includes an insulated housing 200 having a printed circuit board (1TCB") mounting surface 201 for mounting a PCB 220. While described with reference to a PCB the present invention may be used to electrically connect any electrical components ot electrical modules. The surface 201 may be referred to as a module mounting surface.
The plug 10 also includes a connecting or mating end 202 for mating with a receptacle 20 mating end 252. The mating end 202 is shaped and sized so that the plug 10 can be received by the receptacle mating end 252. Circuits 203, 204 for connecting the PCB 220 run from the PCB mounting surface 201 to the mating end 202. At the mating end 202 the circuits 203, 204 terminate in terminals 209 for connection to receptacle terminals. At the module mounting end the circuits terminate in terminals 219 for connecting a module.
The receptacle 20 of the present invention includes an insulated housing 250 having a printed circuit board (1TCB") mounting surface 251 for mounting a PCB 270. A connecting or mating end 252 for mating with a plug mating end 202 is provided. The mating end is shaped and sized so that the receptacle 20 can receive the plug 10 mating end 202. Circuits 253, 254 for connecting the PCB 270 run from the PCB mounting surface 251 to the mating end 252. At the mating end 252 the circuits 253, 254 terminate in fi-minais 259 for connection to the plug terminals 209. At the module mounting end the circuits terminate in terminals 259 for connecting a module.
When the plug 10 and receptacle 20 are connected the circuits 203, 204 and 252, 253 connect the PCBs 220, 270. Referring to Figure 4 it can be seen that the first circuit 111, comprising circuits 203 and 254 is the same length as the second circuit 112 comprising circuits 204 and 253. This connection allows system designers flexibility to choose the output of the power connection system as needed. Further having both circuits the same length means that the heat generated in the connector will be the same in both circuits.
In order for the circuits to be the same length the plug and the receptacle are mated so that the PCBs mounted in an inverse copknar fashion as illustrated in Figure 4 so that the planes of the PCBs 220, 270 are substantially parallel when the plug 10 and receptacle 20 are connected. Referring specifically to Figures 5 and 6 illustrating the circuits 203, 204, 253 and 254 of the connector which are embedded within the insulated housings of the plug 10 and receptacle 20. The plug 10 includes a first circuit 204 having a first length and a second circuit 203 having a second length, the first circuit 204 being shorter in length between the mating tmninals 209 and the module terminals 219 than the second circuit The receptacle also has a first circuit 254 and a second circuit 253, the first circuit being shorter in length between the mating terminals 259 and the module terminals 269 than the second circuit
When the plug and the receptacle are connected/mated in a first mode as illustrated in Figures 1, 3 and 5 with the modules 220, 270 copknar the first connector circuit 101 is longer than the second connector circuit 102.
When the plug and the receptacle are connected/mated in a second mode as illustrated in Figures 2, 4 and 6 with the modules 220, 270 parallel but not in the same plane (so called inverse copknar) the first connector circuit 111 is the same length as the second connector circuit 112. The second mode of mating provides for the current to be equal in both circuits and allows maximisation of the performance of the circuit and therefore improves the connector performance.
Referring to Figures 7 and 8 when the plug and receptacle are connected/mated in a second mode and the plug and receptacle each have an attached module, the parallel modules 220, 270 can overlap providing greater flexibility and better space management.
The terminals and the circuits of the present invention ate integrated within the insulated housings of the plug and receptacle using known methods such as having a two piece housing snap finable together or being moulded within the housing. It is anticipated that multiple parallel first and second connector circuits would exist within the plug 10 and receptacle 20.
