ABSTRACT:
A cable strain relief clamp assembly to securely hold a bundle of flat cables while providing quick assembly/disassembly from the main unit chassis. Identical clamp halves are positioned and fastened at a specified location on the cable bundle. The clamp (with the attached cable) is then snapped onto a bracket to become a subassembly unit. The bracket mates with the main unit chassis utilizing a snap fit detail oriented perpendicular to typical cable axial forces, thus fixing the cables in place. Accommodating varied thicknesses and numbers of cables can be accomplished by varying the aperture of the clamp. The clamp may also provide an electrical ground path between cable and chassis. Other features of the present invention are that: (1) multiple cables and varied widths can be accomplished; (2) it can be detached from main unit chassis without use of fasteners; (3) it does not depend on termination of the cables in male/female relationship; and (4) a consistent part outline is provided for all applications.
