ABSTRACT:
A modular strain relief device is plugged directly into an electrical connector location in the interior of a housing assembly, according to one embodiment of this invention. The body of the strain relief connector provides a surface around which a portion of the wire conductor is wrapped for additional strain relief. Arm-like projections keep the wire conductors in close proximity to the body of the strain relief connector. An integrally molded locking structure attached to one end of the body of the strain relief connector allows it to be locked into an unused plug-in connector location inside the housing assembly. A bundle of wire conductors is secured to the flexible body of the strain relief connector with a cable tie placed through an aperture in a molded projection located at one end of the body of the strain relief device.
