An electrical connector system includes a housing, at least one electrical cable assembly, at least one retaining member and a resilient locking member. The housing has formed therethrough at least one retention window and at least one shaped aperture which is formed through a rear portion of the housing. The at least one retaining member is dimensioned to substantially mirror the dimension of the at least one shaped aperture. The at least one retaining member has an internal surface which defines a channel portion having a predetermined diametral dimension. The channel portion terminates to a slot. The at least one retaining member snap-fittingly engages an individual at least one electrical cable. The at least one electrical cable and the at least one retaining member are insertably received by an individual shaped aperture. A resilient locking member is made integral with each at least one retaining member. The resilient locking member is resiliently moveable, back and forth, from a first, retention window engaging position to a second, retention window disengaging position. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In one aspect of the present invention, this is accomplished by providing an electrical connector system which includes a housing, at least one electrical cable assembly, at least one retaining member and a resilient locking member.
The housing has formed therethrough at least one retention window and at least one shaped aperture which is formed through a rear portion of the housing.
The housing forms an internal cavity portion which defines an interior wall.
The at least one electrical cable assembly includes an electrical cable having a circumferentially disposed flange thereupon.
The at least one retaining member is dimensioned to substantially mirror the dimension of the at least one shaped aperture.
The at least one retaining member has an internal surface which defines a channel portion having a predetermined width dimension.
The channel portion terminates to a slot formed in a retaining member bottom portion.
The slot has a narrower width dimension than the width dimension of the channel portion.
The at least one retaining member snap-fittingly engages an individual at least one electrical cable.
A resilient locking member is made integral with each at least one retaining member.
The resilient locking member is resiliently moveable, back and forth, from a first position, wherein the resilient locking member is engageable with a predetermined retention window, to a second position, wherein the resilient locking member is disengaged with respect to the retention window.
The foregoing and other aspects will become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawing figures.
