ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR HAVING MULTIPLE TERMINAL RECEPTACLE RECEIVING DIFFERENT PLUGS ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A multiple contact electrical connector is provided with a universal receptacle adapted to mate alternatively with a single plug or various combinations of plugs while maintaining polarity of the contacts in the connector. The receptacle is provided with a resilient exterior for forming weatherseals at the interface between mating male and female terminals in the connector, yet also has a rigid central core providing sufficient strength for positive coupling with the mating plugs. In preferred forms, each plug has a centrally attached threaded bolt adapted to be received within a complemental insert formed in the rigid core of the receptacle for facilitating coupling and uncoupling of the plugs with the receptacle and for locking mating terminals in electrical contact with one another. The resili- ent receptacle is particularly adapted for releas- able sealed mounting on the firewall of a motor vehicle by virtue of the provision of a removeable U-shaped clip which captively engages the firewall in cooperation with a flange formed in the resili- ent body of the receptacle.
