ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes a pair of opposed plastic strain relief bodies having opposed cable end portions forming therebetween at opposed inner surfaces a laterally elongate narrow slot of a width sufficient to accommodate the width of a ribbon cable. The connector also includes relatively rigid elongate reinforcing members such as metal bars which outwardly engage the cable end portions of the strain relief bodies and clamp such cable end portions together. The metal bars are held in clamping relationship by fasteners at the ends thereof extending laterally beyond respective ends of the narrow slot. Each metal bar engages an outwardly facing surface of the cable end portion of the respective strain relief body over substantially the full width of the slot thereby to prevent or minimize bowing of the cable end portions upon flexing of the cable relative to the strain relief bodies.
