Problems solved by technology

While conventional cable organizers can adequately minimize stress on cables and terminated wires, they are often costly, bulky and complex in design and difficult to assemble into electrical connectors that terminate to wires or cables and / or removed from the electrical connector and are only suitable for use with specific wire or cable sizes
Furthermore, conventional cable organizers are not designed to facilitate electrical grounding of electrical connectors terminated to wires or cables

Abstract

A cable organizer for use with an electrical connector terminated to an electrical cable includes a monolithic insulative housing including a base portion and a cover portion hingedly secured to and extending from the base portion. The base portion includes a bottom wall and opposing first side walls extending from the bottom wall. The cover portion includes a top wall and opposing second side walls extending from the top wall. The bottom wall, top wall, and first side walls cooperatively define a channel configured to retain the electrical cable when the cable organizer is assembled to the terminated electrical connector. The cable organizer may include a spring clip disposed in the channel and configured to assist in retaining the electrical cable.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to terminals formed between electrical connectors and electrical cables. More specifically, the present invention relates to cable organizers for properly managing these terminals. Background technique [0002] It is well known in the art to use cable organizers for electrical connectors terminated to wires or cables to minimize stress on the cables and terminated wires. A typical conventional cable organizer may include two separate components that can be secured around the connector housing and the wires. The two separate components can be secured together by a variety of methods, such as external hardware with interlocking features on the two components. Another typical conventional cable organizer may include a protective sleeve disposed around the connector housing and the wires. While conventional cable organizers can adequately minimize stress on cables and terminated wires, they are often costly, bulky...
