ABSTRACT:
Male and female connectors (10, 50) include male and female housings (11, 51) with accommodating portions (25, 61) that have rear end insertion openings for accommodating dummy connectors (30, 70). The dummy connectors (30, 70) include protrusions (37, 78) that interfere with the opening edges of the accommodating portions (25, 61) and prevent insertion if the dummy connectors (30, 70) are reversed forward/backward. However, properly oriented dummy connectors (30, 70) can be inserted into the accommodating portions (25, 61) while leaving the protrusions (37, 70) projecting out from the insertion openings.
