Cable connector with improved assembly structure and pull-out resistance

A cable connector for connecting a cable having a plurality of individual conductive wires therein to an opposing connector, the cable connector comprising:

• a housing having a plurality of conductive terminals disposed therein, the housing having a hollow recess formed therein, the recess including a terminal section which houses termination ends of the terminals and a cable section which houses a termination end of the cable, the cable section of the recess including a pair of spaced-apart opposed sidewalls, the terminal section including a plurality of passages that receive said terminals therein, the termination ends of said terminals extending from said passages into said cable section, the cable section including a pair of first latch openings formed in the cable section two sidewalls, and a second latch opening interposed between and spaced apart from the first latch openings;
• a cover plate for closing off said housing recess, the cover plate having a plurality of fastening members including a pair of first fastening members extending downward therefrom on opposite sides thereof, and a second fastening member interposed between and spaced apart from said first fastening members, whereby, when said cover plate is applied to said housing over said recess, said first fastening members are received within said first latch openings and said second fastening member is received within said second latch opening;
• and,
• a cable including a plurality of conductive wires extending therein, the conductive wires having free ends that are attached to said terminal termination portions.
