ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector (12) including an insulative body (14) defining at least one row of terminal sites (36) containing respective terminals (40), the body (14) defining a connection face (16) and an opposed face (18) extending between opposed first and second sides (20, 28). At least one of the first and second sides (20, 28) defines a web (22, 30) between adjacent ones of all the terminals sites (36), whereby each web (22, 30) is adapted to be easily removed to define a corresponding keyway (26, 34). The connector (12) is thereby programmable to correspond with a complementary keyed electrical article (50).
