Abstract
A polarizing system for electrical connector assembly includes first and second connectors mateable with each other. The polarizing system comprises a pair of polarizing posts projecting on both ends of the first housing. The polarizing posts are arranged generally along a longitudinal axis of the first housing and with one of the posts being different from the other post. An elongate polarizing receptacle extends longitudinally along the second connector with a first end dimensioned to receive the first post and a second end dimensioned to receive the second post.
