A cover assembly formed by a pair of mating cover members interengage with the housing of an electrical connector and with each other to provide polarization/keying and latching for the connector as well as strain relief for the conductors leading from the connector. The covers together define conductor exiting which can be normal to or parallel to the mating face of the connector or any combination of exiting. The strain relief is provided by a known cable or bundle tie encircling the conductors and passing through belt loop extensions on one of the covers.

Polarized locking latch cover for an electrical connector

A connector assembly is disclosed for effecting mass insulation displacing termination of a plurality of conductors into a like plurality of terminals which are pre-loaded into a housing in a single aligned row. The subject connector assembly includes a housing having a plurality of terminal passages therein opening, in a forward direction, onto a mating face normal to the axes of the passages and, in a rearward direction, opening outwardly toward one side of the housing. A terminal is mounted in each passageway with a matable portion directed toward the mating face and an insulation displacing, conductor engaging portion lying in the outwardly open rear portion. The subject connector assembly also has a cover with one end edge engageable with the housing at the outward opening of the passageways and the other end enclosing the rear of the housing.

Mass terminatable single row connector assembly

A cover kit is disclosed for use in enclosing an open portion of a housing for a known electrical connector. The cover kit includes a first cover member one end of which engages one side of an elongated connector housing with the other end extending across the rear edge of the housing and a second mating cover member selected from a group of cover members each having distinguishing features. The second cover members each have a first end which engages the opposite side of the connector housing and a second end which engages the other end of the first cover member to securely enclose the connector housing. The second cover members provide keying, polarization, profile alteration, and latching for the connector.
