Connector-assembly with strain-relief-device

A connector assembly, comprising:

• a connector-body having a terminal-end and a wire-end, the connector-body configured to retain a plurality of electrical-terminals, the plurality of electrical-terminals connected to a plurality of cables, the plurality of cables extending beyond the wire-end and enclosed in a conduit;
• a dress-cover removably attached to the connector-body, the dress-cover configured to direct a routing of the plurality of cables, the dress-cover having sides and a base defining a first-aperture configured to receive the connector-body, the base defining a second-aperture through which the plurality of cables extend;
• a strain-relief-device removably attached one side of the dress-cover, the strain-relief-device having a first-half and a second-half removably attached to the first-half, the strain-relief-device in compressive contact with an outer-surface of the conduit, the strain-relief-device having a close-out panel having a generally rectilinear-shape, the close-out panel having opposed side-edges, a top-edge and a bottom-edge opposite the top-edge;
• and
• a housing configured to attach to a vehicle-body, the housing having walls and a bottom defining a cavity, the cavity configured to receive the connector-body, the dress-cover, and the strain-relief-device, the walls defining a slot extending into the cavity, the connector-body, the dress-cover and a portion of the strain-relief-device disposed within the slot, the walls having opposing-channels on a first-side and a second-side of the slot, the opposing-channels extending along the walls parallel to a mating-axis of the connector assembly and terminating at a bottom-channel proximate to the bottom of the housing, the opposing-channels configured to slideably engage the opposed side-edges of the strain-relief-device, wherein the bottom-edge of the strain-relief-device engages the bottom-channel when the connector-body, the dress-cover and the portion of the strain-relief-device are disposed within the slot, thereby inhibiting contamination from entering the slot.
