Why are the Weather Pack connectors called Towers or Shrouds instead of male or female connectors?
The use of the “Tower and Shroud” nomenclature eliminates confusion with gender specific connectors. Weather Pack towers are most often used with female terminals but they can also be used with male terminals. Weather Pack shrouds are most often used with male terminals but they can also be used with female terminals. It is even possible to use both male and female terminals in a single multi-circuit Tower or Shroud.
