1. A contact terminal cartridge comprising:
a first substrate having apertures configured to hold contact sections of a contact terminal group disposed at a first end of the contact terminal; and
a second substrate disposed on said first substrate, having apertures configured to hold the contact sections of the contact terminal group disposed at a second end,
wherein said first and second substrates have, on their surfaces opposed to each other, indentations and/or protrusions configured so that a total thickness of said first and second substrates is variable depending upon the orientation of said first and second substrates to permit different distances between the first end and the second end depending upon said orientation.
