Abstract
An electric connector assembly including female connector having terminals mounted therein and a male connector mateable with the female connector having terminals mounted therein for mating engagement with the terminals of the male connector. Latch means are formed on the female connector housing and interengaging latch means are formed on the male connector housing, both the latch means and interengaging latch means cooperating with each other to selectively latch said connectors together in a mating relationship. The interengaging latch means for the male connector is chosen from a plurality of different interengaging latch means distinguished from one another in that each respective interengaging latch means of one different male housing is different from the interengaging latch means of another different male housing.
