Abstract

A housing for an electrical connector having terminated wires extending away therefrom. More particularly, the housing is formed from shells with openings facing in different directions to provide alternate wire openings so that the wires can exit in one of several different angles and includes a screw activated clamp for clamping the wires as they exit from the housing. The housing further may be made from metallic material and thereby providing EMI and RFI shielding.
