ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises a strain relief for an electrical connector wherein the connector has conductor wires extending therefrom. The strain relief comprises a pair of hermaphroditic components. The forward end of the component has a connector engaging section for engaging the connector. The rearward end has a conductor engaging section to secure the conductor wires which extend from the connector. The inner side has two fastening members for securing one of the members to the other. The first of the fastening members is disposed near the rearward end of the component. The second of the fastening members is disposed near the forward end and the connector engaging section. The fastening members are used to secure the components together. The forward end is adjustable independently of the rearward end such that the strain relief is able to fit different size connectors and to accommodate different sizes and numbers of conductor wires.
