Abstract
The invention provides for an electrical connector including first and second housings having mating ends configured to be joined with one another and retain contacts that are joined when the first and second housings are mated. The first and second housings each have a reception end receiving a dielectric subassembly carrying an electrical cable connected to contacts. The dielectric subassemblies are aligned along a longitudinal axis and mate with one another when the first and second housings are mated. The first and second housings each have a hatch proximate a corresponding reception end that closes the reception end and engages a rear wall of the dielectric subassembly. At least one of the hatch and rear wall have a loading protrusion that engages another one of the hatch and rear wall to create a load force along the longitudinal axis to maintain the dielectric subassemblies fully mated with one another.
