ABSTRACT This invention relates generally to electrical connectors and more particularly to improved modular inter- face connectors and connector assemblies incorporating such modular connectors. A continuing problem with present con- nectars and connector assemblies is that a wide variety of assembly component parts are necessary to meet different connection requirements inasmuch as different connector assemblies, such as adapters, bridging assemblies, data sets, junction assemblies, and the like, having non-inter- changeable components are required for various different connection purposes. The present invention is designed to provide a slidingly mountable modular connector capable of easy installation and replacement coupled with reliable operation. The modular connectors of the invention include improved mounting structures which permit each connector to be slidably mounted on a support member in at least two alternate orientations and to be retained at any position between two spaced shoulders of the support member. In addition, the modular connector is preferably an integrally molded plastic unit configured to permit its fabrication in a single-action mold. In one embodiment, the interface con- nector further includes a removable comb member which separates and aligns the active portions of the connector contact elements and prevents access through the entrance aperture of the connector to the free ends of the contact elements. In another embodiment, the interface connector includes an integral comb structure and embossments disposed on the connector housing for engaging and mounting at least one bus bar member to the housing adjacent the comb structure.
