ABSTRACT:
A multiple conductor cable connector (1) is disclosed including a metallic clip (4) which latches a termination cover (5) and a housing (2). A projecting tab (18), a latch (20) and concave inner surfaces of the clip (4) grasp a handle (14) of the termination cover (5) to secure it to the clip (4). The termination cover (5) is recessed (15) to allow the clip tab (18) to fit flush with a rear surface (13) of the termination cover (5). Convex outer surfaces of sleeves (19) of the clip (4) cooperate with concave inner surfaces of channels (8) of opposed paired towers (7) on the housing (2) to guide the termination cover (5) towards the housing (2). Use of the clip (4) within the channels (8) provides a rigid structure for the connector (1), unaffected by normal handling. Inner surfaces of the channels (8) have protrusions ( 9) which cooperate with leading edges on the clip (4) to define a stop, and a cutout protrusion (24) on the clip (4) cooperates with a recess (10) and shoulder in the channel (8) inner surface; together these features define a pretermination position. A separate protrusion (11) on the housing (2) body cooperates with a separate recess (22) on the clip (4) to define a termination position and to latch the termination cover (5) to the housing (2).
