<p>An electrical connector (10) has a housing (12) containing multiple electric terminals (18). A multiple conductor cable passes through an opening in the housing with each of the conductors terminated to the conductor terminating portion of a respective one of the terminals (18). A strain relief region (20) is bounded by two sides (42,44) and and a bottom abutment surface. Each of the sides has spaced mutually facing engagement surfaces (42,44). A U-shaped staple (30) has a bight (52) and two legs (54,56) extending therefrom to respective free ends (55,57). Each leg (54,56) is of an appropriate cross section, having large edges (62) and small edges (64), the small edges (64) include a plurality of barbs (66) spaced therealong in penetrating contact with the engagement surfaces (42,44). As the staple (30) is inserted into the connector housing (12) to a predetermined position, the cable is compressed into the remaining space between the staple (30) and the abutment surface such that the cable is compressed a predetermined amount, thereby providing strain relief.</p> |
