A cover and strain relief assembly is disclosed for use with known elongated electrical connectors for providing either a 90.degree. or 180.degree. cable exit from the connector. The subject cover assembly has three pieces including a yoke that engages a mounting flange of the connector and a pair of mating panels which snap together engaging both the yoke and the cable. The mating panels can be reversibly connected, with respect to the manner in which they engage the yoke to yield a 90.degree. or a 180.degree. cable exit from the connector. The panels can further be provided with adjustable cable strain relief means.

Two way cover assembly

An insulation displacing contact and connector are disclosed for effecting electrical engagement with closely spaced conductors of a multi-conductor flat flexible cable. The elements of the contact include a plurality of parallel tines spaced along a plane defined by the axis of the conductor and defining therebetween at least two insulation displacing slots which form a tortuous path for the conductor. Latching means may be provided on the free end of at least one tine to engage and secure a cover to a contact carrying connector base.
