Abstract
A connector (10) includes a housing (12) with a terminal receiving cavity (22) and a wire receptacle (24) communicating with the terminal receiving cavity (22). The wire receptacle (24) includes at least one V-shaped wire support (40) for supporting a wire (50) at two circumferentially spaced positions on the wire (50). A cover (60) is mounted to the housing (12) and has at least one resiliently deflectable strain relief beam (70) that biases the wire (50) into the wire receptacle (24).
