ABSTRACT:
A cable connector assembly comprises a connector subassembly including an electrical connector and a shell enclosing the connector, a cable terminated to the connector subassembly, and a strain relief device injection molded around the cable. The strain relief device includes a strain relief member and an integral interconnection member located in the connector subassembly for assembling the strain relief thereto. The strain relief member comprises a plurality of longitudinal portions arranged in two arrays for symmetrically flanking the cable, a plurality of parallel vertical portions interconnecting the longitudinal portions for sandwiching the cable therebetween, and a front portion connecting with the interconnection member. Each longitudinal portion has a substantially trapezoidal vertical cross section being tapered toward the cable. The height of the vertical cross section of each longitudinal portion proximate the retained cable is much smaller than the diameter of the cable in a vertical direction.
