Abstract
An interchangeable modular electrical connector for in-line and bulkhead applications within automobiles. The selection of male and female terminal housings and seals is identical for both the in-line and bulkhead applications, and the female housing is provided with bulkhead securing structure which remains unused and out of the way for in-line connections. Only the male housing cover is specific to each application; however, the in-line and bulkhead male housing covers are interchangeable on the male housing.
