ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention relates to connectors for printed circuits and the like. In particular, it relates to connectors formed individually by the assembly of blocks of insulating material and contacts which may readily be shortened to eliminate undesired lengths of connector. The prior art connectors have generally been provided in sizes to include fixed numbers of contacts. When there has been a need for more contacts than are in a standard unit, but fewer than in the next larger size, the next larger size has been used with a corresponding waste of contacts and the cluttering of space with unused parts. The connectors of the present invention are formed from bodies of insulating material such as thermoplastic polyester, having recepta- cles, or cavities, which support pluralities of contacts. Each contact is positioned in one of the receptacles by engagement of a ridge in the body with a corresonding slot in the contact. The contacts are locked in their respective receptacles by a slide element which functions cooperatively with a slide receptacle in the contact block. An assembled connector may be shortened by severing the body to remove portions of the body bearing undesired contacts without disturbing the remaining contacts. Alternatively, before assembly, the insulating block may be cut to a selected length so that it will accommodate a particular number of contacts and avoid excess contacts.
