ABSTRACT:
Multi-contact electrical connector comprises an insulating housing having contact terminals therein. The housing has oppositely facing endwalls on each of which there is provided a latching means for latching the connector to a complementary connecting device. Each latching means comprises a latch arm which extends forwardly beyond the mating end of the connector and a latching ear which cooperates with a latch arm on the complementary connecting device. The latch arms on the two endwalls are located on one side of a medial reference plane and the latch ears on the other side of the reference plane. The reference plane extends normally on the endwalls of the housing and parallel to the sidewalls. When the connector is coupled to an identical connector or other complementary connecting device, each terminal in the connector is coupled with a terminal in the complementary connecting device which occupies the same position in the complementary device as the terminal in the connector. The complementary device may be identical to the connector.
