Patent ID: 7849767

Claim:
An offset socket connector, the connector comprising: an elongated planar body defined by a first end, a second end, an upper surface, a lower surface and a uniform thickness Tb; a male connector element extending from the upper surface of the elongated planar body adjacent the first end, the male connector element having a height Hm; the male connector having a male connector distal surface, wherein a male connector distal surface extends beyond the bossing distal surface by a distance that is substantially equal to the thickness of the elongated planar body Tb; a female connector opening provided through said elongated planar body adjacent the second end; a female connector bossing extending from the upper surface of the elongated planar body and completely surrounding the female connector opening, such that the bossing defines a continuation of the female connector opening, the female connector bossing having a bossing distal surface; and the lower surface is substantially planar.
