Abstract
An electrical connector for providing an electrical connection with a mating connector for control of a vehicle transmission is disclosed. The mating connector has electrical terminals. The electrical connector includes a shank, a hollow receptacle, and terminals. The hollow receptacle is at the end of the shank for receiving the shaft of a mating electrical connector. The terminals are positioned within the hollow receptacle for providing electrical contact with the terminals of a mating electrical connector. The receptacle has a first side with a first slot extending substantially across the width of the first side so that the receptacle can interlock with any one of a number of mating male connectors. The receptacle has a second side having a second slot extending substantially across the width of the second side so that the receptacle can interlock with any one of a number of mating connectors.
