ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector housing having a tubular body portion, a flange portion and a cylindrical shroud surrounding an electrical connector. The shroud has at least one aperture or lockout hole in a side wall thereof to removably receive a locking member. The removable locking member is preferably a padlock having a substantially U-shaped shackle extending through the lockout hole in the Shroud to prevent insertion of a mating electrical connector into the electrical connector housing. The mounting flange portion has a notched section above the lockout hole in the shroud so that the shroud can be substantially recessed within the tubular body portion and the locking member can still be easily installed into the lockout hole.
