Abstract
A hermaphroditic back cover and strain relief part for an electrical connector is disclosed. The part is intended to be mounted on an electrical connector along with an identical part to form a back cover and strain relief. The back cover part comprises a rearward end and first, second, and third co-extensive sidewalls, the first and second sidewalls being parallel to each other and the third sidewall extending normally of the other sidewalls. An inclined shoulder is provided on the external surface of the first sidewall. Means are provided for securing the part to a connector housing and for securing the part to an identical part in opposed relationship thereto. In use, the two parts are mounted on the rearward end of the connector housing with the conductors extending beyond the rearward ends of the parts. The internal surface of each second sidewall is positioned over the recessed surface adjacent to the shoulder of each first sidewall to form an enclosure around the connector.
