Cable connector with strain relief.

摘要

The back-shell assembly has forward and rearward ends and an axially extending cable-receiving through aperture. A toroidally configured radially compressible strain relief coil spring surrounds the cable and is disposed near the rearward end of the back-shell. A compression device is engageable with the back-shell for selective rotational and relative axial movement. The compression device includes a forwardly facing concave cam surface for engaging and radially compressing the coil spring into strain relief engagement with the cable. An interference contour is operatively associated with the back-shell and non-rotatably engageable with the strain relief coil spring to prevent rotation of the coil spring with the rotatable compression device relative to the back-shell. The interference contour includes axially facing serrations for non-rotatably engaging the coil spring. The serrations comprise radially extending grooves into which individual coils of the spring can interference fit.
