ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly having complementary plug and receptacle subassemblies (100, 300) of similar construction. Each of the subassemblies includes a shell (110, 310) wherein the rear portion (126) has a longitudinal section removed therefrom, with the remaining rear portion of the shell subtending an arc of approximately 180.degree.. A strain relief member (116) of generally semi-cylindrical configuration is adapted for placement relative to the shell so that it substantially replaces the removed longitudinal section of the shell. The rear end (126) of the shell and the rear end of the strain relief member each have a projection (134, 154) directed toward the other, with the projections being angularly and longitudinally offset from each other. A boot (118) is fitted over the shell (110) and the strain relief member (116) and engages the strain relief member to move its rear end toward the shell so that the two projections (134, 154) operate to secure and provide strain relief for a cable (180) exiting the subassembly (100).
