  • Rigid electrical plug assembly with strain relief
    Patent number: 5571145
    Abstract: An electrical plug assembly comprises an electrically conductive tip, secured to a cable by an electrical conductor. A rigid housing portion encloses the tip, conductor, and a portion of the cable and possesses sufficient strength to protect the electrical conductor from breakage. The tip is non-rotatably coupled to the rigid portion. A strain relief portion is formed of material more flexible than the rigid portion and is non-rotatably coupled thereto. The strain relief portion partially encloses the cable to relieve strain applied to the cable.
