ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for terminating the conductors of an electrical cable and including a terminal receiving body having a front mating end and a rear conductor receiving end. A flexible strain relief boot is disposed about at least a portion of the cable at the rear conductor receiving end of the terminal receiving body. The strain relief boot includes a plurality of discrete recesses which progressively increase in size in a rearward direction to increase the flexibility of the strain relief boot progressively toward the rear thereof. The discrete recesses also are more closely spaced in a progressive manner rearwardly of the boot. A coupling ring surrounds the terminal receiving body, and a visual indicating ring is hidden by the coupling ring when in an inactive position, the visual indicating ring being exposed when the coupling ring is in a mating position thereby to visually indicate a mating condition of the connector and the visual indicating ring providing for omnidirectional visualization thereof. The coupling ring extends rearwardly beyond a termination interface between the terminal receiving body and the conductors to provide a rigidifying support thereabout.
