ABSTRACT:
A modular connector assembly (10) includes at least first and second modules (12, 54) securable together to form the longer connector. Each module (52) includes a housing (14, 54) having a flange (32,72) extending outwardly from an endwall (24, 64) thereof that are adjacent one another when the modules (12, 54) are placed in an end to end relationship for forming the longer connector. The first flange (32) includes a base (34) having a first opening (36) extending vertically therethrough in communication with the mounting face (18) of first housing (14). The second flange (72) includes a base (74) spaced a selected distance above the mounting face (56) of the second housing 54 and a second opening (76) extending vertically therethrough in communication with the mounting face (58) of the second housing (54). At least portions of the first and second openings (36, 76) are configured for receipt therethrough of a fastener (102) for securing together and co-aligning the first and second modules (12, 54) to form the longer connector assembly 10.
