Abstract
The disclosed non-interchangeable plug-in electrical connector includes a first connection device bearing a series of break-away interference elements, to be broken away selectively; plug-in interference members are plugged into the second connection device, bearing interference elements which, in the preferred embodiment, are break-away elements to be removed selectively so as to become complementary to the retained interference elements of the first device; the plug-in interference members have break-away extensions that facilitate insertion of the interference members, the extensions then being broken away and serving in removal of selected break-away interference elements.
