The modules each have contact-receiving cavities 46, 70 in which contact terminals are positioned. For each module, a single key 62, 88 is provided which extends through the housing frame 26 and through the housing modules 28, 30, 32. The key 62, 88 serves to secure the module to the frame and to positively retain the individual terminals in their cavities in the modules.
