Summary:A connector assembly for interconnection to conductors of a flat circuit, wherein the conductors are in a pattern of varying widths. A dielectric housing has a receptacle with an opening communicating the receptacle to the exterior of the housing. A plurality of terminal blocks of conductive material are positionable in the receptacle. The terminal blocks have varying sizes with corresponding varying planar surfaces exposed at the opening in the housing for engaging the conductors of the flat circuit. The blocks are arranged in the receptacle so that they present a pattern of varying sized planar surfaces matching the pattern of varying width conductors.
