Abstract
A connector for receiving a ribbon cable, to be assembled via a clamping tool, is provided. The connector includes a housing, a cover, and a protection cap. The housing includes an open top and a bottom. The cover is configured to selectively cover the open top of the housing to enclose the ribbon cable within an interior of the housing. The protection cap is configured to cover the bottom of the housing. The protection cap includes a nonplanar surface with a bump, where the clamping tool contacts the cover and the bump to force the cover toward the housing when the connector is assembled.
