Abstract
An easily manufactured miniaturized connector in which a shoulder formed on each side of the plug portion cooperates with a cooperating sidewall bearing surface on each side of a recess in the receiver portion so that alignment of the plug with the receiver is automatically achieved as the plug is inserted into the receiver, thereby minimizing misalignment of terminals in the plug and receiver.
