Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0443492A1] An electrical connector 22 includes a dielectric housing 24 including a transverse body section 26 and a shroud portion 39 extending forwardly therefrom and defining a cavity 42, an array of pin contact members 44 extending forwardly of the body section 26 and within the cavity 42 and at least one pair of closely spaced elongate members 54, 64 within the cavity 42. The elongate members 54, 64 extend to respective leading ends 57, 67 forwardly beyond the leading edge 40 of the shroud portion 39 and cooperate with the shroud portion 39 and with each other to disallow inadvertent entry of a human finger into the cavity 42 proximate pin contact members 44 adjacent the elongate members 54, 64. The pair of elongate members 54, 64 further provide aligning and keying means for the connector 22. <IMAGE>
