Abstract

An electrical connector has a modular nose or modular noses. The modular nose can be interlocked with the housing or can be interlocked with other noses and the housing or only with other noses. The interlocking is provided by projections extending laterally from opposite sides of the nose. These projections engage correspondingly shaped notches in adjacent noses or in adjacent portions of housings.
