Electrical connector for flat cable having a strain relief function

摘要

A connector for a flat cable which reduces strain on the cable. The connector includes a first portion attached to a second portion. The second portion has a top surface and a bottom surface. A flat cable may have a segment secured to a bottom surface of the second portion. The flat cable may be further secured between the second portion and first portion while the second portion and first portion are attached. A remaining segment of the flat cable may be positioned through an opening extending from the bottom surface of the second portion to the top surface. As a result, a stress or force exerted on the remaining segment of the flat cable may be diverted away from the cable and into the connector.
