ABSTRACT:
Invention relates to an improved strain relief member for use in a communication network outlet utilizing a card-edge type connector. The connector typically may comprise a housing having a through cavity containing a plurality of axially arranged terminal contacts, where each contact is composed of a pair of blades having a slot therebetween for receiving a conductor normal to the slot. The contacts are exposed to the rear of the housing, and a card-receiving opening communicates with the through cavity from the front of the housing. The rear portion of the housing is generally of a rectangular cross section having a uniform predetermined height. The improved strain relief member, constructed to be press fit onto the rear portion, comprises a dielectric housing having a top wall, a bottom wall and a rear wall extending therebetween. Internally the top and bottom walls include at least a pair of opposing ribs and that the distance therebetween is slightly less than the predetermined height so as to provide a press fit engagement with the rear portion of the connector housing. As an optional feature, means in the form of a conductor engaging wall are provided in the strain relief member to facilitate its use in stuffing or terminating insulation wrapped conductors in the slots between respective blades.
