ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly 1 for electrical conductors 6 and a strain relief for the conductors 6, corresponding conductors 6 project from opposite first and second sides 4 of an insulative housing block 2 of the connector assembly 1, conductive electrical terminals inside the housing block 2 connected to corresponding conductors 6, duplicate first and second strain relief clamps latch to each other and clamp therebetween corresponding conductors 6 to provide the strain relief, and each of the clamps comprises, a clamping surface 23 elongated along a corresponding one of the sides 3 of the housing block 2, a first arm 24 projecting from a first end 25 of the clamping surface 23, a projecting first pivot surface 26 on the arm 24 received in a recess 33 in a corresponding end of the housing block 2 for pivoting the clamping surface 23 toward and against corresponding conductors 6, a concave portion 28 of the clamping surface 23 adjacent the first arm 24, a convex portion 30 of the clamping surface 23 for deflecting corresponding conductors 6 into a concave portion 28 of a duplicate clamp 22, and a latch 31 intersected by the convex portion 30.
