ABSTRACT:
A connector (M) has a fitting (21) with an open front end for receiving a mating connector (F). The fitting (21) includes a bottom wall (22), sidewalls (23) and a top wall (24). The top wall (24) is recessed at the front end to form a notch (25) between top edges (23a) of the sidewalls (23). Extensions (27) extend obliquely up and in from the top edges (23a) of the sidewalls (23) in areas corresponding to the notch (25). The oblique alignment of the extensions (27) ensures that forces exerted by a mating connector (F) will deform the extensions (27) and the sidewalls (23) uniformly without damaging the fitting (21).
