Electrical connector with strain relief

摘要

A connector for a data communications system has a housing containing a printed circuit board. The printed circuit board has insulation displacement contacts for connecting with wires in a cable. The insulation displacement contacts are connected to nose contacts which are also mounted on the printed circuit board. The nose contacts form a channel between the nose contacts and the printed circuit board. A strain relief member is located in the channel. The strain relief member absorbs mating forces generated during connection and disconnection of the connector.
