Embodiment Construction

[0026] Referring to FIG. 1 , there is shown a side view of a cover 10 for an electrical connector and conductor assembly incorporating features of the present invention, the cover being shown mounted on an electrical connector and conductor assembly 12 . Although the invention will be described with reference to representative embodiments shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the invention can be embodied in many alternatives to these embodiments. In addition, any suitable size, shape or type of elements or materials could be used.

[0027] Assembly 12 generally includes two electrical conductors 14 , 16 , such as a main conductor and a branch conductor, connected to each other by an electrical connector 18 . A connector 18 connects the two conductors 14, 16 to each other. In a preferred embodiment, connectors 18 are crimped on the ends of the conductors. However, any suitable method of attachment may be provided. During the crimping process, the connector is ...

Abstract

An electrical connector and conductor assembly cover is provided including a main housing section and a magnifying window section. The main housing section forms a connector receiving area. The connector receiving area is sized and shaped to house an electrical connector therein. The magnifying window section in the main housing section is located between the connector receiving area and an exterior of the cover such that a user can view a magnified image of a marking on the electrical connector in the connector receiving area from the exterior of the cover without opening the main housing section.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a cover for an electrical connector, and more particularly to a cover having improved features. Background technique [0002] Many electrical connector manufacturers manufacture plastic covers that are placed over electrical connectors to shield the electrical connector from brushing contact with other wires, equipment, or workers' hands. Historically, these caps have been made from HDPE or PP resins so that they can be flame retardant and flexible, which allows the connector to be used for fingers that require a UL 94 flammability rating as well as conductor / cap transition areas Between the flexible telecommunications environment. [0003] A critical installation factor in the installation of connectors used in the various applications that require these covers is the use of a "die index." Such die locators are "embossments" on the connector surface that correspond to a certain crimp die design, and the crimp die con...
