ABSTRACT:
A connector (12) or a pair of connectors (10,12) having a removable post (105) for reception in a channel (51) in an electrical connector (12) wherein the channel (51) has a wider first region (54) and a narrower second region (56), with the narrower second region (56) opening both onto the wider first region (54) and an exterior surface (57) of the connector (12). The post (105) has an elongate body section (106) that is an enlarged retaining portion adapted to be slidingly received in the wider first region (54) of channel (51). Elongate body section (107) has a first portion (108) and an extended portion (110). First portion (108) is typically narrower than extended portion (110), is adjacent to and extends from the enlarged body section (106) and is adapted to extend through the narrower region (56) of channel (51) to interconnect the enlarged body section (106) with extended portion (110). Extended portion (110) is received axially in a passage of a complementary connector (10) when properly aligned therewith for mating of the connectors. Posts (105) function as spacers to prevent contacts of one connector from moving across and impinging against features extending from the mating face of the complementary connector, thereby avoiding damage to the contacts.
