Abstract: A cord grip arrangement for relieving mechanical strain on cord conductors (15, 16) of an electrical connector assembly comprising a first shell member (19) and a second shell member (26). The cord grip arrangement comprises a base member (1) from which two limbs (4, 5) extend to form a hinged jaw. One limb is provided with an inwardly extending protuberance (7) which co-operates with a space (8) defined by two shoulders (9, 10) in the other limb when the jaws are held closed over cable 14 by being restrained within second shell member (26) of an assembled electrical connector assembly. Such an arrangement ensures That both the outer sheath and the terminated inner conductors of the cord are securely gripped.
