ABSTRACT:
A connector is described, of a type which has contacts at opposite ends that are of the same gender (male plug or female receptacle) and with each end having contacts arranged in the same pattern with respect to the key at that end, wherein the connector is of simple and low cost construction. The connector includes a plate of insulative material having a row of conductive traces thereon, each trace having upper and lower holes. Two corresponding pin contacts have inner ends received in different holes of the same trace, with the outer end of one pin projecting into a first end of the connector and the outer end of the other pin projecting into the second end of the connector. A key in the form of a shell with wide and narrow sides, is oriented at one end of the contact with its wide side uppermost and is oriented at the other end of the connector with its wide side lowermost.
