A harness connector 10 for connecting a human harness to an external connector, comprising: a first recess 30 for receiving an external connector 70; a second recess 40 for receiving an external connector 72; a latch 50 having a first locking position for locking external-connector 70 in the first-recess 30, while maintaining the second-recess 40 open to receive external-connector 72 and having a second locking position for locking external-connector 72 in the second-recess 40 while maintaining the first-recess 30 open; and a user-operable switching mechanism 16, which when a first position urges latch 50 towards the first locking position and when in a second position urges latch 50 towards a second locking position. The latch 50 may move between first and second locking positions causing the first-recess 30 to open and the second-recess 40 to close and where reversing the latch movement opens the second-recess 40 and closes the first-recess 30. Also a harness connector 10 comprising a releasing mechanism that responds to the insertion of an external-connector 72 into the second-recess 40 by automatically causing an external-connector 70 in the first-recess 30 to be released therefrom if the user operable switching mechanism 16 is in its second position.
