ABSTRACT:
A seal and strain relief member comprises a plastic injection moulded strain relief member and an elastomeric seal overmoulded to the strain relief member thereby forming an integral part. The strain relief member comprises clamping halves pivotally attached by hinges to a base section having wire receiving cavities therethrough, the base section extending into seal support walls. The clamping halves can be pivoted towards each other to clamp conducting wires therebetween and thereby provide a strain relief means. The strain relief member support walls purport not only to provide a bonding surface for the seal thereto, but in particular provides support to the seal with respect to axial and radial compression thereby preventing excessive or uneven deformation of the seal to ensure reliable and effective sealing. The strain relief member can be integrally moulded to a carrier strip for connection to other strain relief members thereby reducing handling and assembly costs, in particular of the seal members.
