Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0081937A2] An electrical connector comprises a slab like insulating housing (3) having three parallel through passageways (4) communicating with pin-receiving apertures defined by slots in a lower side of the housing (3). Fork-like contact receptacles (2) are received in respective passageways (4) to engage laterally or axially with complementary pins received through the slots. A resilient latch arm (8) on the housing is arranged to engage the head of a pin to resist lateral withdrawal of the connector. Extensions (5) at a forward end of the housing serve to guide the connector into lateral engagement with a pin-cluster.
