Strain relief cable insert

摘要

A connector assembly includes a connector housing, a cable, and a strain relief insert. The connector housing includes a clamp within an interior chamber. The cable extends into the interior chamber of the connector housing and is compressed by the clamp at a clamping region of the cable to secure the cable to the connector housing. The cable includes plural conductors and an outer jacket surrounding the conductors. Exposed segments of the conductors extend from an end of the outer jacket. The strain relief insert includes a stalk that extends between the conductors into the outer jacket through the end of the outer jacket. The stalk aligns with the clamping region of the cable such that the clamp compresses the conductors into engagement with the stalk.

1. A connector assembly comprising:
a connector housing extending between a mating end and a cable end, the connector housing defining an interior chamber, the connector housing including a clamp within the interior chamber; a cable extending into the interior chamber of the connector housing through an aperture at the cable end, the cable being compressed by the clamp to secure the cable to the connector housing, the cable including a plurality of conductors and an outer jacket that surrounds the conductors along a length of the outer jacket, the clamp engaging the outer jacket at a clamping region of the cable that is proximate to an end of the outer jacket, the conductors including exposed segments that protrude from an opening at the end of the outer jacket; and a strain relief insert including a stalk, the stalk extending between the conductors into the opening at the end of the outer jacket, the stalk defining a bulb along a length of the stalk, the bulb having a larger diameter than a narrow segment of the stalk adjacent to the bulb, the bulb of the stalk aligning with the clamping region of the cable such that the clamp compresses the conductors into engagement with bulb.
