ABSTRACT:
A hood for an electrical connector employs a pair of identical body porti which are mated together to grasp the electrical connector and to provide strain relief to the exiting conductors. Strain relief is provided by a resilient or flexible strain relief tab extending angularly inward from an inner surface of each of the body portions. The strain relief tabs have sufficient resilience to permit outward deflection thereof as necessary to handle a substantial range of cable or wire bundle diameters. An optional bifurcated tip on the strain relief tab doubles the contact lines with a small cable and improves the ability of the tip to conform to the shape of a small cable or wire bundle. Ridges on the strain relief tab engage the surface of a large cable or wire bundle. The ridges may be sawteeth which are angled to resist outward forces on the cable or wire bundle. Exit channels are provided for cable exit either axially or in either of two transverse directions.
