Abstract A super multipole electrical connector consisting of a male connector (2) and a female connector (3). The male connector includes a housing (4) having a fitting cavity opening (5) on a front side (4a) thereof and at least one terminal unit receiving recess (11) on a rear side thereof; a terminal plate (22); a plurality of terminals (24, 25, 26) planted on the terminal plate to form a terminal unit (21); the terminal unit being fitted in the receiving recess and secured to the housing to form a super multipole electrical connector; and a pair of foolproof sections (17, 18) formed on opposite sides of the housing. The foolproof sections each includes a guide portion (19) raised from the front side of the housing; a foolproof recess (20) extending rearwardly from the guide portion and having an expanded arcking mouth portion (20a) at a front end thereof, the arcking mouth poriton having a outwardly sloped side wall, and a tapered section (20b) extending rearwardly from the mouth portion. The female connector includes a housing having (30) a pair of guide recesses (49, 50) on opposite sides thereof for receiving the guide portions and a pair of guide projections (51, 52) extending forwardly from the guide recesses for fitting into the foolproof recesses.
