ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSUREA unitarily molded environmentally protectivebackshell is provided with a unitary ratcheted tie strapfor strain relief connection of a cable to the backshell.The backshell comprises a base for receiving an electricalconnector therein and a cover hingedly connected to thebase for environmentally protecting the electrical con-nector therein. Resilient latches lockingly retain thecover to the base. The interengagement of the coverwith the base prevents outward bowing of the base sidewalls. The ratcheted tie strap lockingly engages adeflectable ratchet trigger which also is unitary tothe base. The trigger is angularly aligned to wallsof a tie strap receiving aperture and is dimensionedto exert a biasing force against the tie strap therebypreventing loosening of the strain relief connection.
