Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0147930A1] A female pin conductor receiving connector (10) includes a terminal housing (21) having an exterior end wall (22), a pair of opposing, parallel, exterior side walls (24, 26) extending from opposite edges of the end wall and a plurality of terminal receiving cavities (30) formed between the side walls and the end wall, each cavity having a pin receiving opening (32) formed in the end wall and a plurality of terminals (36) mounted in some or all of the cavities. In order to polarize the connector (10) a portion (44) of the housing (21) adjacent a pin receiving opening (32) is permanently deformed by a punch (48) to prevent a pin conductor (20a or 20b) being received through the opening.
