Abstract
An electrical connector assembly for use in an electrical circuit which has a support member for mounting electrical components thereon. The support member includes a first aperture and a second aperture. A first electrical connector is provided for mounting on the support member and includes an insulated base adapted to be received in the first aperture and a plurality of generally rigid conductor pins extending from at least one side of the base. The base has a plurality of indexing openings along the periphery thereof. One of the openings is in alignment with the second aperture. The base also includes a plurality of resilient hook-shaped support member engaging tabs, one underlying each of the indexing openings for engaging the bottom of the support member when the first connector is mounted in the first aperture. A second electrical connector is provided to be mounted and spaced from the first electrical connector. The assembly also includes a stepped-shaped polarizing pin attached to the second connector and adapted to cooperate with the second aperture and the first connector so that the second connector is positioned in a given way with respect to the first connector.
