ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention relates to a hood assembly for an electrical connector. Heretofore, hood assemblies were primarily structures which could be slid over an electrical connector and clamped about an incoming cable. It has become highly desirable to have a hood assembly which, in addition to providing protection for an electrical connector, may be utilized to clamp and properly distribute both incoming and outgoing electrical conductors. The present invention provides a new and improved hood assembly for an electrical connector which will properly distribute and clamp both the incoming and outgoing electrical conductors of a tapped conductor arrangement. The hood assembly includes a pair of complementary releasably engageable hollow housing shells. Each of the shells includes a longitudinally extending inwardly projecting rail or rib immediately adjacent the strain relief mechanism of the connector, or a strain relief adapter mounted on the connector, to press against the individual conductors and provide additional strain relief. The shells are provided with complimentary recesses which are cooperable to form openings for passing bundles of conductors or individual conductors therethrough, the edges of the openings also functioning to clamp the conductors when the shells are connected together, The recesses may be provided at different locations on the housing assembly for various conductor distribution arrangements including an L-shaped arrangement and a T-shaped arrangement.
