ABSTRACT:
A hood assembly for an electrical connector includes a pair of complementary releasably engageable hollow housing shells. Each of the shells is a unitary molded one-piece structure which includes slots for receiving flanges of an electrical connector for mounting the connector in the hood assembly. Each of the shells also includes a longitudinally extending inwardly projecting rail or rib immediately adjacent the strain relief mechanism of the connector, or a strain relief adapter mounted on the connector, to press against the individual conductors and provide additional strain relief. The shells are provided with complementary recesses which are cooperable to form openings for passing bundles of conductors or individual conductors therethrough, the edges of the openings also functioning to clamp the conductors when the shells are connected together. The recesses may be provided at different locations on the housing assembly for various conductor distribution arrangements including an L-shaped arrangement and a T-shaped arrangement.
