ABSTRACT:
An hermaphroditic connection comprising two identical mating connectors. Each connector has at least one axially extending finger and at least one space. The spaces and fingers are sized and configured so that a finger of one connector is firmly insertable into the space of the other connector. For electrical connections, each connector may be provided with one or more conductors. The conductors may be simple conductors or co-axial conductors. Each conductor is split equally longitudinally along the length of the finger through which is passes. When a connector is mated with another connector to make a connection with a wiping insertion action, the split conductors are mated along a relatively large interface area. Electrical connections having very good resistance and impedance characteristics and very good connection and disconnection physical characteristics are attained.
