Now, in the case of a connector which has both a pin and a hole (or
multiples in various configurations), that's a tough call. Though
uncommon,
I have run into a few of these in the past. Maybe we could call that an
ambiguous connector.


Anyone else have the correct terminology for this type?

hermaphroditic ?

When I hear that, I have one of these in mind:

The unusual type I referred to earlier actually had pins and holes on the
same side, in a cylindrical housing. It's been so long since I've
encountered them, I don't even remember what they were called.
