Abstract
An electrical connector comprising socket and pin contacts located in two shells, respectively which have forward ends adapted to be coupled together for connecting together the socket and pin contacts. The forward end of one shell has a plurality of forward extending tongues adapted to be fitted into melting grooves formed in the other shell when the forward ends of the two shells are coupled together. The tongue and grooves are arranged such that the forward ends of the two shells may be coupled together only when the forward ends of the two shells are in one position relative to each other. The rear ends of the two shells have coupling means to allow them to be coupled to two tubular members respectively.
