Abstract
A shielded cable connector (10) including a housing (12) rearward insertable into an enclosing body section (22) of a first shell (20). The first shell (20) includes a tab section (32) extending rearwardly to a cable strain relief site, and a second shell (34) is affixable to the first shell rearwardly of the body section (22) to cooperate with the tab section (32) to form a strain relief clamped to a jacketed cable portion. The first shell (20) is free of upstanding arms and thereby provides a clearance to align the housing (12) with the body section (22) to enable insertion thereinto, while the second shell (34) includes coextending arms (72) for confining the crimped cross-section to form a rectangular shape, and the end portions (76) of the arms (72) are formed around the tab section's side edges (54) and against its outer surface thereof upon crimping.
