An electrical connector assembly 1 for electrical conductors 6 and a strain relief for the conductors 6, corresponding conductors 6 project from opposite first and second sides 4 of an insulative housing block 2 of the connector assembly 1, conductive electrical terminals inside the housing block 2 connected to corresponding conductors 6, duplicate first and second strain relief clamps latch to each other and clamp therebetween corresponding conductors 6 to provide the strain relief, and each of the clamps comprises, a clamping surface 23 elongated along a corresponding one of the sides 3 of the housing block 2, a first arm 24 projecting from a first end 25 of the clamping surface 23, a projecting first pivot surface 26 on the arm 24 received in a recess 33 in a corresponding end of the housing block 2 for pivoting the clamping surface 23 toward and against corresponding conductors 6, a concave portion 28 of the clamping surface 23 adjacent the first arm 24, a convex portion 30 of the clamping surface 23 for deflecting corresponding conductors 6 into a concave portion 28 of a duplicate clamp 22, and a latch 31 intersected by the convex portion 30.

Electrical connector assembly with strain relief

A cable assembly which couples multicontact connectors to multiple conductor cable. The multiple conductor cable having the conductors disposed in a planar array with the conductors being secured together at spaced locations. Electrical terminals of connectors are mass terminated to the conductors at the spaced locations. The connectors are arranged back-to-back and secured in a housing.

Shielded cable assembly

A shielding kit for providing 360.degree. shielding of a connector terminating multi-conductor flat 360.degree. shielded cable includes a plug shield of at least two interfitting metal members which enclose the plug and secure the shielding grids of the cable and an at least one part shielding adapter which is fitted on a standard receptacle serving to ground the shielded plug when mated therein. The kit also includes a cable strain relief cover formed by a pair of hermaphroditic insulative members. The kit further includes an embodiment for use with daisy chain arrangement which is a three piece assembly to include both sides of the mating face of the cover as well as the back face of the plug. This embodiment can be used with or without the above mentioned strain relief cables. The receptacle portion of the mated plug can be enclosed by any of a variety of various shielding members.

Shielding kit for electrical connectors terminating multiconductor 360

A cover latching assembly is formed by elongated grooves in opposite ends of a connector housing, the grooves extending between mating and rear surfaces of the housing and having a bridge spanning each groove intermediate the length thereof. Each bridge has a straight side directed toward the rear surface and a profiled side directed toward the mating surface. The cover has depending leg portions received in the respective grooves and engaging with the profiled side so as to have the cover spaced above the rear surface or closely adjacent the rear surface.
