ABSTRACT:
A polarizing system is incorporated in a blind mating electrical connector assembly which includes first and second electrical connectors respectively having first and second dielectric housings mateable along a separable mating interface. The housings are elongated and define respective longitudinal axes located generally centrally of the mating interface in a lateral direction. A pair of polarizing posts are spaced longitudinally of the first connector and project therefrom at the mating interface. The posts are centered generally on the longitudinal axis of the first housing, and one of the posts is wider than the other post in the lateral direction. A pair of polarizing receptacles are spaced longitudinally of the second connector for receiving the polarizing posts of the first connector. The receptacles are centered generally on the longitudinal axis of the second housing, and one of the receptacles is wider than the other receptacle for receiving the one post. The tips of the posts and the mouths of the receptacles are bevelled to facilitate blind mating of the connectors.
