ABSTRACT:
The invention is a strain-relief device for use with a cable-plug assembly wherein the wires of the cable are connected to the terminals of a plug. The strain-relief device comprises a first half-housing for receiving the cable-plug assembly, a second half-housing that fits over the first half-housing thereby forming an enclosure that holds the cable-plug assembly immobile, and at least one latch for holding the half-housings together when the latch is engaged. Alignment features incorporated in the half-housings enable a user to bring the half-housings into alignment prior to engaging at least one latch thereby avoiding damage to either half-housing during the assembly of the device. The strain-relief device includes a means for disengaging the latches after the half-housings have been assembled into an enclosure and the latches have been engaged thereby permitting the half-housings to be separated from each other after assembly. The strain-relief device also includes a means for restricting the movement of the plug and cable relative to the enclosure.
