Abstract
An assembly of electric connectors and plug connectors and cap connectors used therein has guiding ribs providing for a smooth joining of the plug connectors and cap connectors, Ribs 16a, 16b and 16c extending from the bottom wall 14 are provided respectively in cavities 6, 8 and 10 of the cap connector 1. All ribs are of the same configuration and have outside surfaces 26, 28 perpendicular to the bottom wall 14, an outside surface 30 parallel to the bottom wall and a slanted surface 20 forming a roughly P-shaped cross section. In the plug connectors, slots of the same configuration as said ribs are formed, thus providing smooth connection by limiting vertical and horizontal deviations during their joining.
