Abstract
An anti-mismatching pair of a first and second connectors are constructed such that the first connector ( ) is either of a male and female types and has two connective planes each having at least one restricted ridge ( ). The second connector ( ) is correspondingly either of a female and male types and also has two connective planes each having at least one restricting groove ( ) corresponding to the restricted ridge ( ). The number and position of the restricted ridge ( ) as well as those of the restricting groove ( ) are designed such that the connective planes in each connector ( ) have overall contours extending symmetrically with each other with respect to the center point (C) of symmetry lying between the connective planes. The one connector ( ) mates only with the other connector ( ), whether it is at its obverse position or at its reverse position relative to the other connector, so that a wrong connection of the one connector ( ) with any other mismatching connector ( ) is avoided.
