ABSTRACT:
A housing for a termination of a terminal or pair of terminals onto an end of flat power cable has a pair of wide terminal-receiving cavities to receive the terminated cable end from rearwardly thereof, for contact sections of the terminal or terminals to extend forwardly from or be exposed along the forward housing mating face. A rearward cover member is then securable to the rearward end of the housing such as by latching thereto, to secure the terminals within the cavities and define a cable exit spaced rearwardly of the terminations of the terminal or terminals. The rearward cover member can be bifurcated having upper and lower struts joined at one lateral end thereof to be inserted over the flat cable from one side, and a latch arm extends forwardly from the joined end and a pair of adjacent latch arms extend forwardly from the unjoined ends of the struts, for latching to the housing, and the adjacent latch arms after latching act as a single latch arm.
