Abstract: A connector housing assembly is configured to withstand a cantilevered force applied by wires onto the dress cover and prevent contact between the dress cover sidewalls and the wire or a terminal to reduce disengagement of the connector housing and dress cover. The connector housing includes ridges integrated on the outer surface of the sidewalls of the connector housing. The dress cover includes a finger feature integrated on the sidewalls of the dress cover that engages the ridges of the connector housing to produce a cantilever force that counter acts the force exerted on the dress cover from the of wires. The dress cover further includes stabilizing ribs connected to the interior surfaces of the sidewalls and top surfaces. The stabilizing ribs prevent movement of the assembly causing the terminal or wire from rattling resulting in wear or damage to the wire or terminal.
