ABSTRACT:
A cable terminating cover retention system having two terminating covers (68, 70), each having leg means (72, 74) proximate the endwalls (90, 92) thereof, cooperate with an aperture (45) in a terminal support block (44) of connector housing (28). As conductors (56) are terminated on insulation displacement contacts (20) by moving the terminating covers (68, 70) toward the terminal support block (44), the leg means (72, 74) complement each other to substantially fill the aperture (45) and engage the sidewalls (102) of the apertures (45) in a first interference fit. As termination of the conductors (56) is completed, each leg means (72, 74) enters a recess or aperture (124, 126) in the other cable terminating cover (70, 68) and engages a protrusion (128, 130) therein in a second interference fit. The second interference fit is between the protrusion (128, 130) and an area (116) of the leg means (72, 74) not previously deformed by the first interference fit and retains the cable terminating covers (68, 70) in the terminated position.
