Abstract

An electrical cable assembly having electrical wires, an electrical connector body, and a strain relief hood. The connector body is connected to first ends of the wires by electrical contacts. The strain relief hood is connected to the connector body and the cable. The hood has a first section snap-lock connected to the connector body and a second section attached to the cable. The first section includes a cantilevered side wall formed, at least partially, by two slots between the cantilevered side wall and two adjacent side walls. A latch for a second electrical connector is mounted over the cantilevered side wall for substantially preventing the cantilevered side wall from being outwardly deflected while the latch is connected to the hood.
