Abstract
An electrical connector comprises a molded plastics material female housing member incorporating a skirt and a molded plastics material male housing member adapted to be inserted into this skirt. Guides on one housing member align the male and female housing members during insertion of the male housing member into the skirt. There are multiple channels in each housing member. Those in one housing member are adapted to receive male electrical connection members and those in the other housing member are adapted to receive corresponding female electrical connection members. At least one housing member is joined to a support by corrugated elastic strips, so that it can oscillate in the support.
