Abstract
There is disclosed a balanced interconnector comprising first and second like connecting elements, each of the connecting elements comprising an elongate centre section and a pair of parallel IDCs opening in substantially opposite directions, the IDCs attached substantially at right angles to and at opposite ends of the elongate centre sections, each of the connecting elements lying in different parallel plains. The first and second connecting elements are arranged such that the elongate centre sections are opposite one another and the IDCs of the first connecting element are not opposite the IDCs of the second connecting element. In a particular embodiment the connecting elements of adjacent pairs of connecting elements are at right angles. The positioning and geometry of the connecting elements
