ABSTRACT:
A strain relief for an insulation displacement connector contains a cap section, a base section, and a base tab. The cap section is movable between an open position and a closed position and has a wire insertion channel for guidedly receiving a wire. The channel has an entrance aperture for entry of the wire into the channel. The open position facilitates entry of the wire into the channel. The base tab is upstanding from the base section and extends into the wire insertion channel when the cap is in the closed position. In this orientation, the wire in the channel is forced by the base tab into contact with a portion of an inner wall of the channel thereby forming a friction fit therebetween. Thus, the wire is restrained in the channel and strain relieved.
