Abstract: A connector assembly comprises a mounting portion for mounting the connector to a complementary portion which could be either another connector or a member fixed to a structure such as an automobile's bodywork. The mounting portions comprise interengaging T-shaped walls and T-shaped profiles that are longitudinally slidably interengaged. The mounting portion walls comprise interleaving recesses and extensions and that enable the mounting portions to be interengaged by placing the mounting portions one against each other and then sliding them in opposing directions by only a short travel. The latter enables longitudinally slidable T-profiles to be used but nevertheless over short travel which is advantageous for certain applications to reduce cable length surplus.
