Abstract
A multiple connector comprises a stack of slidably interconnected modular housing sections of insulating material each containing several electrical connectors. Each housing section has a first stop cooperating with a second stop of an adjacent section to allow relative sliding of the sections between a piled position for connection of all the connectors with complementary connectors of a washing machine programmer for example, and a stepped position defined by coaction of said first and second stops and in which one section may remain in its piled connection position and the adjacent slid section is displaced by an amount sufficient to ensure disconnection of the connectors therein from the corresponding complementary connectors. Preferably, each connector slides in its housing section between disconnected and connected positions in response to sliding of the adjacent housing section between its stepped and piled positions.
