Abstract:
A connector assembly (10) includes a plug housing (20) with a housing latch (30) formed thereon that includes grooves (32) for slidably receiving a connector position assurance device (CPA) (40). The CPA (40) is inserted from a mating side face (25) of the housing (20) and is operable to assure that a further matable connector is fully mated to the housing (20). The CPA (40) includes a deflectable beam (41) and an embossment (44). The beam (41) will deflect below projections (34) of latch (30) as the CPA (40) is moved into its final position. When the CPA (40) is in its final position, the operator can readily observe that the housing (20) has been fully mated to the further matable connector.
Abstract:
An electrical connector assembly (100) which includes electrical contacts (10) of the insulation displacement type, an inner housing (20), an outer housing (40), and a strain relief member (50). The assembly (100) is assembled by first securely placing the electrical contacts (10) within the inner housing (20) and then inserting the inner housing (20) into the outer housing (40) so that the electrical contacts (10) can be terminated to wires by using the insulation displacement method of wire termination. The inner housing (20) is then moved to a fully latched position within the outer housing (40). Strain relief member (50) is then slidably mounted on outer housing (40) and includes an abutment flange (55) for ensuring that the inner housing (20) has been fully inserted within outer housing (40). The wires which are terminated to the contacts (10) will extend around an inner wall (53) of the strain relief (50) and will be laced between retainer walls (58) so that strain relief will be provided to the assembly (100).
Abstract:
An electrical connector assembly (10) comprising a housing (20) with a latch arm (30), a CPA (40) received in the latch arm (30), an inner housing (50) received within the housing (20), a wire seal (60) disposed on the inner housing (50) and retained by a seal retainer (70) and posts (51), a wire cover (80), and a header housing (90). Wire seal (60) includes wire receiving slits (67) therein for advantageously receiving wires (17) during an insulation displacement type wire termination operation. CPA (40) is operative to assure the operator that the header (90) and housing (20) have been fully mated together and to prevent inadvertent separation of the housing (20) from the header (90).

Abstract:
The shielded electrical cable assembly (2) has a forward electrical connector (8) for mating with a header (156A) in a computer cabinet (152). The connector (8) has terminals (30) crimped to respective leads of a shielded electrical cable (6). The leads extend through a rear housing (10) to which the forward connector (8) is latched. There project rearwardly from the rear housing (10) strain relief flanges (60) which are moulded to jackets (20) enclosing the leads. A two-part shielding shell (12) is secured about the strain relief flanges (60) and is clinched to the shield (18) of the shielded cable (6). Latches (80) for latching the cable assembly (2) in an aperture in a shielding plate (150) of the computer cabinet are reversely bent to take up the difference in width between the back shell (12) and the aperture in the shielding plate (150).
