This invention relates to an electric connector comprising two electrically mating bases, called body and cap. The improvement comprises that each base is being made with more than two like, peripherally unevenly spaced cavities for holding contacts, wherein these contacts are all interchangeable brushes within the connector body and all interchangeable prongs within the cap. This allows a three or four cavity connector to be used with a two pole set as well as with a three pole set of contacts, without permitting any mismating of poles as would occur with even spacing. This mating guard may be still improved by a new locking bolt that aligns the bases before mating. After mating the bolt secures the bases against accidental separation. The proposed use of a single type base mold, brush and prong represents the utmost in standardization of parts.
