                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims 19,

          Thus, the appealed claims are the only claims remaining in the              
          application.                                                                
               The claimed invention is directed to a socket-type                     
          multipolar electrical connector.  The connector is

          fine pitch and a second group of contacts at a relatively
