Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is an electrical connector assembly having three receptacle connectors located therein for mating contact with a three-terminal male connector hermetically mounted in a motor housing or the like. One of the receptacle connectors is retained in the triangular-shaped housing in a reversed position relative to the other two receptacle connectors so that the wire conductor connected thereto exits the housing toward the other two wire conductors to form a Y-configuration.
