Electrical cable connector and connector assembly thereof

An electrical connector assembly comprising:

• a housing having a plurality of compartments;
• a plurality of terminals each being disposed in one of the plurality of compartments;
• a plurality of cables each being attached to one of the plurality of terminals;
• and
• a cover through which the plurality of cables pass, the cover being attached to the housing to block an entrance of each compartment by which removal of the terminals from the housing through the entrance is prevented, wherein each terminal is aligned along a first direction of the housing, and each cable is aligned along a second direction of the housing orthogonal to the first direction, and wherein the cover is assembled to the housing along the second direction to prevent each terminal from being removed from the housing through the entrance of each compartment;
• wherein the housing includes a retaining member that includes a plurality of first recesses and first projections and the cover includes a fastening member that includes a plurality of second recesses and second projections, and wherein the cover is assembled to the housing through the engagement of the fastening member and the retaining member such that each of the first projections is received in one of a corresponding second recesses and each of the second projections is received in one of a corresponding first recesses, by which movement of the cover relative to the housing along the first direction is prevented.

An electrical cable connector comprising:

• a housing having:
• a mating face and a plurality of compartments, each compartment having a mating end adjacent to the mating face and an entrance opposite to the mating end;
• and
• a plurality of first recesses and first projections;
• a plurality of terminals each being disposed in one of the compartments;
• and
• a cover to allow a plurality of cables to pass through to connect to the terminals, the cover comprising a plurality of second recesses and second projections;
• wherein each of the first projections is received in one of a corresponding second recesses and each of the second projections is received in one of a corresponding first recesses, by which the cover is assembled to the housing to block the entrance of each compartment by which removal of the terminals from the housing through the entrance is prevented.
