Abstract: A reinforced protective housing that may be utilized for protection of electrical contacts; such housing is reinforced with cured resin-coated open mesh glass cloth. Electrical contacts are incorporated into the glass cloth reinforced plastic body to form a unitary electrical connector component. A method of manufacturing cured resin-coated open mesh glass cloth reinforced molded plastic electrical connectors.

Abstract: Cable strain relief and sealing apparatus comprising a sleeve formed of flexible and resilient material having a substantially cylindrical inner surface and a tapered outer surface. The sleeve may be tapered inwardly from the mid-portion thereof to both end portions thereof or, alternatively, may be provided with a taper in one direction only. A plurality of oppositely extending axial slots are formed in the sleeve so that, upon radial inward compression of the sleeve by a housing member or the like enclosing the sleeve, the internal surface of the sleeve will tightly grip a cable passing therethrough. A sealing bushing formed of flexible and resilient material may be provided at each tapered end of the sleeve, and may have a taper that is substantially the same as that of the sleeve.
