A first electrical connector part is adapted to be universally applicable to a wide variety of many different types of electrical connectors. In order to assure that the electrical connection is maintained, a complemental latching member is provided which is designed to fit a variety of existing electrical connectors. The complemental latching member has an internal cavity and telescopes over the universal electrical connector to coact with a given existing connector having guide keyways or orientation key elements in particular locations and latch the universally applicable electrical part in mating relation with the existing electrical connector. Thus, a discrete complementary part is provided which telescopes over the universal connector part and shields any exposed O.E.M. conductive parts from the environment and has a latching or locking member which shields a locking abutment on the universal part to maintain the electrical connection.
