A hermaphroditic electrical connector having a first connector half and a second connector half configured to mate with one another. Each of the connector halves includes a housing, a first projection, a second projection, and a central protrusion. The housing includes a first side, an opposite second side, a top side, and an opposite bottom side. The first projection extends from the first side of the housing proximate to the top side of the housing. The second projection extends from the first side of the housing proximate to the top side of the housing such that the first and second projections are spaced from one another by a slot. The central protrusion extends from the first side of the housing proximate to the bottom side of housing.
