ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes terminals and receptacles mating at an angle relative to the horizontal force applied to couple them. Keying flanges mounted on a terminal housing slide along guide channels of a receptacle frame in a first direction, and are then directed along keying slots in a second direction, angularly related to the first direction, to mate the terminals and receptacles mounted in the receptacle frame. The connector is compact and may be assembled with application of a single coupling force in one direction. The angular disposition of terminals and receptacles provides improved resistance to uncoupling. A system of such electrical connectors is provided, including means for preventing cross-connection of unrelated circuits and components. Finally, a method for interconnecting electrical circuits and components with such electrical connectors is provided.
