Abstract: A plastic outer shell for a DIN/MINI DIN computer connector has a hollow, elongated rear end extending from the body thereof at one end, the hollow, elongated rear end made from a flexible plastic material and integrally formed of a plurality of spaced, straight ribs in longitudinal direction and a plurality of spaced, curved ribs in transverse direction, the spaced, curved ribs permitting the cross sectional area defined in the hollow, elongated rear end to be expanded for holding cables of different outer diameter.

Abstract: For electrically connecting the bus line from a machine to an IC mounting seat of the electric control circuit of another machine, a cable connector is disclosed comprising a plug seat, an upper cover and a terminal assembly fastened therebetween. The plug seat further comprises an elongated locating seat having a plurality of grooves alternatively vertically disposed at two opposite sides and obliquely aligned with two rows of mounting slots at the two opposite sides thereof for holding the connecting racks of the terminal assembly in place when the contact ends of the terminal assembly are fastened in the mounting slots, as such the bus line at one end of a cable from a machine can be accurately fastened in place and electrically connected to the connecting racks of the terminal assembly, thus, providing for further electric connection to the IC mounting seat of an electric control circuit of another machine through the plug seat.
