Abstract
A mounting bracket is carried by an end flange of a first electrical connector and includes projections which slidably engage grooves in a second electrical connector which is supported by the bracket. A hood covers the rear end of the first connector and at least partially covers and embraces the second connector supported by the bracket and includes an internal lateral projection which engages a hook-shaped portion of the bracket. The contact capacity of the first connector is greater than that of the second connector and electrical connections extend, within the hood, to connect the contacts of the second connector to contacts in selected positions of the first connector, so that selected conductors of a multi-conductor cable can be extended to the conductors of another multi-connector cable which has a lesser number of conductors, by way of cooperable connectors which are matable with the first and second connectors.
