Abstract
A connector assembly is provided with a housing forming an exterior, an inlet end, a cavity, and an outlet end. The housing has a recess formed within the exterior and at least one aperture formed through the housing within the recess for venting the cavity. A cord extends through the inlet end into the cavity. The first housing portion has a first fastener mechanism formed within the cavity. The second housing portion is provided with a second fastener mechanism sized to extend into the first housing portion cavity for engagement with the first fastener mechanism to fasten the first housing portion and the second housing portion together. A molded material is disposed within the cavity for engaging the fastened first and second fastener mechanisms for minimizing unfastening of the first and second fastener mechanisms. Retainers are provided for cords of varying thicknesses.
