Abstract

Various embodiments include a connector head assembly for an electrical cable attached to one or more receptacle connectors. The connector head assembly may include an elongate overmold having a longitudinal extent that is longer than a height or width thereof. The elongate overmold may be configured to encase a terminal end of the electrical cable coupled to the one or more receptacle connectors inside the elongate overmold. The connector head assembly may also include a pull tab pivotally attached to the elongate overmold on an upper surface thereof. A pulling force applied to the pull tab may be configured to separate the receptacle connector from a receptacle in which the receptacle connector is configured to be held.

A connector head assembly for an electrical cable attached to one or more receptacle connectors, the connector head assembly comprising:

an elongate overmold having a longitudinal extent that is longer than a height or width thereof, wherein the elongate overmold is configured to encase a terminal end of the electrical cable coupled to the one or more receptacle connectors inside the elongate overmold;
and
a pull tab pivotally attached to the elongate overmold on an upper surface thereof, wherein a pulling force applied to the pull tab is configured to separate the one or more receptacle connectors from a receptacle in which the one or more receptacle connectors are configured to be held, wherein an attachment portion of the pull tab slides onto a mating structure of the elongate overmold in a first direction, preventing relative movement between the attachment portion and the elongate overmold in a direction of the pulling force when the pulling force is applied to the pull tab.
