ABSTRACT:
A strain relief member of sheet metal is disposed within the housing of a modular connector having a locking bar which ordinarily is crimped into locking engagement with the wires of a multi-wire cable. With such an arrangement flexure of the wires occurs at the locking bar and the wires break thereby breaking the connection provided by the connector to equipment connected to the cable. The strain relief member has a tray portion over which the wires extend to contacts located near one end of the housing. A stem extends rearwardly from the tray portion out the housing and has arms which are crimped around the cable thereby providing strain relief. The tray has a slot therein which is disposed in alignment with the locking bar. When the locking bar is crimped, it fastens the strain relief member to the housing.
