Electrical connector wire guide with hinged cam lock

摘要

A wire guide (10) is removably attachable to an electrical connector (11) for guiding wires terminated thereto. Guide arms (24, 26, 28, 30) extend from a body (20) and include alignment members for engaging alignment features on the connector during assembly. The guide arms include catch fingers (56, 58, 68, 70) that engage catch features (34, 40) on the connector (11). Two hinged cam locks (90, 110), each being arranged between respective pairs of guide arms, are manually manipulated to cause the catch fingers to engage their respective catch features thereby positively securing the wire guide (10) to the connector (11).
