Abstract: The invention is a strain relief for an electrical connector which is terminated to a plurality of wires extending from the connector in a wire bundle. The strain relief comprises a housing which is mountable on the electrical connector, a barrel connected to the housing and arranged for nesting the wire bundle, a clamp which is applicable to the barrel to effect gripping of the wire bundle within the barrel, and the barrel being manipulable to release the clamp, thereby releasing the gripping of the wire bundle.

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.

Abstract: The invention comprises an electrical connector having a connector housing with contact receiving passages to receive contacts therein and a guide member. A lock housing has a pivot member wherein the pivot member and the guide member cooperate to secure the lock housing to the connector housing and to allow the lock housing to rotate and move longitudinally with respect to the connector housing. The lock housing having a first position with respect to the connector housing wherein the contacts can be loaded into the housing. The lock housing having a second position wherein the contacts are secured within the housing for electrical connection with a matable connector.
