Abstract

A connector module is provided which includes a base which houses a metal shell, and a first metal connector such as a female connector, and a cover which encloses the metal shell and female connector relative to the base. The base includes projections which extend into apertures in a second metal connector such as a male connector, which has been mated with the female connector, to prevent inadvertent rotational movement between the male and female connectors. The metal shell includes protrusions which mate with protuberances of the male connector to prevent inadvertent axial movement between the male and female connectors.
