Abstract
An inline electrical connector includes a first housing shell and a second housing shell. The first housing shell has a cable entrance section and a planar mating section that includes a plurality of electrical connectors. The second housing shell also has a cable entrance section and a planar mating section that has a plurality of electrical connectors. The second housing shell can be mated with the first housing shell by overlapping engagement of the planar mating sections. The electrical connectors on the first housing shell are configured to mate with the electrical connectors on the second housing shell when the second housing shell is mated with the first housing shell.
