ABSTRACT:
A patchcord type electrical connector assembly includes a plurality of female connector parts supported by a mounting plate in an arrangement of perpendicular rows. A male patchcord connector part carries contacts spaced to engage respective ones of a plurality of the female connector parts and includes retention nibs which are received in retention recesses in the form of bores in the housings of the female connector parts. The male patchcord connector part includes longitudinally extending ribs at the edges thereof and intermediate longitudinally extending ribs between adjacent contacts to protect the contacts. The housing of the female connector parts are shaped to receive the longitudinally extending ribs by the provision of recesses which will accept a pair of end ribs of separate male connector parts or an intermediate rib of a male connector part. The complementary structure of the male and female connector parts provides polarization for proper contact identification and engagement.
