ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly for holding connector components together. A plug connector in the assembly has a housing with side walls and a pedestal for housing contact portions of terminals which engage contact portions of terminals in an opposing receptacle connector. End walls of the pedestal include a laterally, central projection for engagement with corresponding indentations in end walls of an opposing receptacle connector. The projection is disposed in the plug connector at a different elevation than the tops of the contact portions so engagement with corresponding components of the receptacle connector are not simultaneous to dilute insertion force.
