ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector housing with a lid for covering electrical contacts of an electrical connector mounted therein. Electrical connector housing has a tubular body portion for supporting an electrical connector therein, a mounting flange portion for mounting the electrical connector housing to a wiring enclosure, and a lid for covering an open end of the tubular body portion and the electrical connector. The lid is pivotally coupled at one end to the mounting flange and releasably latched to the mounting flange at its other end. A torsion spring is used to normally bias the lid to a closed position in which the open end of the tubular body portion and the electrical connector are covered. The latch is integrally molded with the lid to provide a snap-fit.
