ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly which includes a pair of mateable connector halves having terminals mounted in housings. The connector assembly includes means for preventing the mating of the connector halves if any one terminals is not fully inserted into a corresponding cavity in a housing. A plurality of relatively rigid polarizing projections are provided on each housing which are received within corresponding recesses formed adjacent each terminal receiving cavity in the opposite housing. A flexible wall is disposed between each recess and the adjacent terminal receiving cavity. The flexible wall is movable towards the interior of the recess when the terminal in the adjacent cavity is not fully inserted therein in order to prevent the receipt of the corresponding projection in the recess.
