CABLE CONNECTOR WITH ALIGNMENT-DEPENDENT LOCKING MECHANISM AND FLEXIBLE PROTRUSION FOR CABLE RETENTION
A cable connector includes a housing with a cavity for accommodating a cable terminal connected to a cable, a sealing portion for a seal between the housing and the cable, and a first part of a locking mechanism. A retainer, insertable into the cavity along an insertion direction, retains the seal and features a cylindrical passage for the cable, with a constant diameter greater than the cable's diameter. The passage's directrix is circular, and its generatrix and revolution axis are parallel to the insertion direction. The retainer includes a second part of the locking mechanism, engaging the first part only when aligned, securing the retainer to the housing. Misalignment prevents engagement, leaving the retainer unsecured. The retainer also has a flexible protrusion that deforms elastically when the cable is inserted, transitioning from a projecting to a collapsed state, thereby preventing the retainer's rotation and translation around the cable.
