An electrical connector is provided comprising a female member and a male member configured such that the female member is inhibited from being electrically coupled to the male member if the electrical coupling would reverse the polarity of the electrical connector. The female member may comprise a first and second chamber. The male member may comprise a first and second extension. The first and second chambers may be configured to insertably accommodate the first and second extensions. The female member may comprise one or more resilient members providing a pressing force to bias at least a portion of a male electrode against at least a portion of a corresponding female electrode. Alternatively, the cover of the male electrode in the first and second extensions may comprise a resilient member.

We claim: 1. An electrical connector assembly having a first connector, the first connector comprising:an electrically insulating housing;an electrically conductive first terminal retained by the housing, wherein the first terminal extends from the housing and comprises a contact surface extending along a coupling length of the first terminal outside of the housing for electrically coupling with a second terminal disposed within a female connector receptacle;an insulating cover disposed along at least a portion of the coupling length of the first terminal for electrically insulating one or more surfaces of the first terminal other than the contact surface; andwherein at least a portion of the coupling length of the first terminal, the insulating cover and the contact surface are configured for insertion through an opening of a female connector receptacle.
