Abstract
An electrical connector is provided with a hinged cover, which is connected in one piece to a connector housing. At least one guide slot is formed in a cover portion of the cover and opens outwards towards a free end of the cover portion. A cable is positioned in the guide slot upon closing the cover, and the guide slot is constricted when the cover is closed so that the cable is fixed inside it. The result is a secure fixing of the cable with low cost in terms of parts and assembly.
