Abstract
A multidirection connector housing for an electronic plug assembly comprises a body portion, a strain relief portion and a locking mechanism for locking the body portion and the strain relief portion together in at least seven orientations with respect to a connector plug. The plane formed at the intersection of the body portion and the strain relief portion is aligned at substantially 45.degree. to the longitudinal axis of the body portion. The strain relief portion includes an internal cable passageway providing substantially 45.degree. of turn. The profiles of the strain relief portion and body portion locking members are preferably square. Preferred embodiments provide ready interchange of cable orientations.
