ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for field attaching an electrical connector to an MC-HL type of cable includes a housing having a built-in ninety degree radius. The housing includes sockets at each end, one for attachment to an oil field wellhead, for example, and the other end to the MC-HL cable. Various component parts are described along with both audible and visual verification that proper attachment has occurred. A method of securing the cable to the connector to provide the required strain relief and not damage the metal cladding is disclosed.
