摘要：A male connector connects with a female connector to establish an electricalconnection. The male and female connectors each include a connector housing havinghold-down tabs at opposite ends thereof for securing the connector housing to asubstrate. The hold-down tabs are staggered or diagonally located such that one hold-down tab is proximal a first side of the connector housing and the other hold-down isproximal a second side of the connector housing. The staggered or diagonally-locatedhold-down tabs stabilize the connector housing against rocking or other movement onthe substrate. The arrangement of hold-down tabs also permits the connector housingto nest or merge with another similarly-designed connector housing. The nested ormerged connector housing conserve substrate space and permit a higher density ofcontacts in a given space on the substrate, whether the space is at an edge or in aninterior of the substrate. The male and female connector housings include side wallshaving complementary polarization features. The polarization features on the femaleconnector housing may be formed on a detachable polarization cap. A side of the male
connector housing includes a stop member for providing a positive stop for the femaleconnector and to prevent rocking. The stop member is configured to permit side-to-sidenesting of male connector housings.
