ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector apparatus has a male connector and a female connector. The male connector has a first housing. There is a plurality of first wiring terminals in a first wiring chamber and a plurality of prongs electrically connected to the first wiring terminals. A first T-shaped longitudinal locking foot is attached to a first outer surface of the first housing. A female connector is removably attached to the male connector. The female connector has a second housing. A second wiring chamber is in the second housing. A plurality of second wiring terminals is in the second wiring chamber. There is a plurality of prong receptors electrically connected to the second wiring terminals. These prong receptors are located in the second housing. A first T-shaped longitudinal locking channel is attached to a second outer surface of the second housing to slidingly and removably receive the first T-shaped longitudinal locking foot. A second T-shaped longitudinal locking channel is attached to the third outer surface of the first housing to slidingly and removably receive the second T-shaped longitudinal locking foot on the fourth outer surface of the second housing. A second T-shaped longitudinal locking foot is attached to the second outer surface of the second housing to slidingly and removably receive the first T-shaped longitudinal locking channel.
