Abstract

A marking arrangement serves to identify the various conductors connected with the contacts of an electrical connector, including a plurality of indicia-bearing marking members that are respectively connected with the actuating elements that selectively unlock the resilient retaining devices that fasten the conductors to the connector body. The marking members include shaft portions that extend longitudinally into openings contained in one end of the longitudinally-displaceable actuating members, respectively. The other ends of the actuating members are in engagement with the retaining springs that normally bias the conductors into electrical engagement with conductor seats on contacts contained within the connector through ducts, respectively.
