A high density electrical connector is provided for supporting a plurality of contact assemblies in a geometric array, each contact assembly comprising a conductive contact portion, a retention portion, a vertical offset portion and a conductive connection portion. The contact portions are disposed in side by side positions along n rows across the connector. An insulative housing is provided having a rear wall, a forward wall and a plurality of contact assembly support cavities extending between the rear and forward walls. Each support cavity has a contact retention rib which engages the retention portion of the contact assembly. Each support cavity also has an elongate contact entry opening in the rear wall, the entry openings being disposed along n pairs of rows in a staggered array, with adjacent cavities in each pair of rows being alternately upright and inverted. The entry openings for upright cavities in a pair of rows lie along a first center line. The entry openings for inverted cavities lie along a second center line offset from the first center line by a distance less than height of the contact entry openings such that the inverted and upright cavities in each pair of rows are interleaved.
