ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector (1) includes an insulative housing (10) having a rectangular mating portion (101). The mating portion has a receptacle (131) and an island (142) projecting from a middle of the receptacle. The receptacle has a generally rectangular cross-section defining opposite first and second sides running longitudinally along the housing. The receptacle has a pair of flattened corners (132) on the second side thereof so that the receptacle is in fact a polarizing hexagonal receptacle for allowing a complementary connector to insert therein only in a given orientation.
