Electrical connecting device and colored strip
First Claim
1. An electrical connector for interconnecting a plurality of conductors of cable with a plurality of contact elements adapted for mating with another electronic component, said connector comprisinga housing of electrically insulating material, having a plurality of conductor channels for receiving said conductors and a plurality of electrical contact elements disposed so as to electrically contact respective conductors received in said conductor channels,a plurality of recesses formed in the housing for receiving different color-coded coding members for identifying said connector, at least one said recess shaped to receive a spherical coding member and having a snap-locking edge at its top to lock said spherical coding member in said recess while permitting a portion of said spherical coding member to project from said recess so as to be visible from one side of the housing, at least a second said recess having at least a partially cylindrical shape to receive a cylindrical coding member of a predetermined color, said cylindrical coding member projecting partially from said second recess so as to be visible from a second side of said connector.
