The wire routing cover includes a base panel with a pair of rail members and at least one latch element attached to the base panel. The base panel has a plurality of wire routing holes formed therethrough. Upon releasably connecting the housing body and the wire routing cover together, respective ones of the pair of rail-receiving channels slidably receive at least a portion of the respective ones of the pair of rail members, the at least one latch projection is releasably captured by the at least one latch element and the plurality of terminal-receiving holes and the plurality of wire routing holes register with one another.
