ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector comprises two identical crimp connectors each having an insulative housing and a number of identical conductive contacts received in passageways defined therein. A number of mating devices are formed on front faces of each housing enclosing mating openings of a portion of the passageways, wherein the mating devices are arranged so that each mating opening which is not enclosed by a mating device is adjacent to a mating opening that is enclosed by a mating device. Each contact consists of a crimping portion for retaining the conductive interior of a wire, a retention portion with positioning means for properly positioning and securing the contact within the corresponding passageway of the housing, and an interlocking portion for engagement with a corresponding contact of the other housing. When the two crimp connectors are mated together, the mating devices of one housing are snugly received in the spaces defined between the mating devices of the other housing and the interlocking portions of the contacts of each housing engage with each other to firmly secure the two crimp connectors together.
