ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector (2) includes terminals (4) positioned in a connector housing (6) with a wire strain relief housing (26) mounted on a rear end (8) of the connector housing (6). The strain relief housing (26) includes a base (28) with a transverse wall (40) and with ribs (42) and (44) extending perpendicular to the transverse wall (40). Ribs (46) and (48) extend parallel to and are spaced to the rear of the transverse wall (40). Wires (80) attached to terminals (4) in the housing (6) extend over the transverse wall (40) so that the transverse wall (40) isolates the terminals (4) or dampens vibrations from being transmitted from the wires (80) to the terminals (4). The wires (80) can then be dressed in any of three directions and a cable tie (76) secured around the wires (80) and a corresponding rib in alignment with one of three openings so that the wires (80) can exit in one of three directions. A hinged cover (56) can then be closed on top of the wires (80).
