An assembly (10) comprises a receptacle (12) having a base (14) including a longitudinal row (16) of male connector pins (18) extending above and below the base. A first wall (20) projects above the base (14), the first wall (20) having a given height (H) and a given width (W) and being spaced a given distance (D) from the longitudinal row (16) of male connector pins (18). A second wall (22) is spaced from the first wall (20) and also projects above the base (14). The second wall (22) had a height (H1) substantially equal to the given height (H) and a width(W1) different from the given width (W) and being spaced from the longitudinal row (16) of connector pins. (18) a distance (D1) different from the given distance (D). A connector (24) has a central body (26) formed to fit between the first and second walls (20,22). The central body (26) includes a longitudinal row (28) of female connector pins (30) formed to engage the male connector pins (18). The pins (30) can terminate in male ends (30a) if desired. The central body (26) includes two oppositely disposed recesses (32, 34). A first of recesses (32) is formed to engage the first wall (20) and a second of the recesses (34) is formed to engage the second wall (22). Accurate positioning of the connector with the receptacle is insured by the plural asymmetries developed by the varying distances (D) and (D1) and the varying widths (W) and (W1) of the first and second walls (20,22). To insure positive retention of the parts, the assembly (10) is provided with a latching feature. To achieve latching, one of the walls, for example, first wall (20), is provided with a latch receiver (36) in the form of an aperture (36a) and one of the recesses, for example, recess (32), is provided with a latch (38), which can be in the form of a projection (38a).
