  • Hinged strain relief backshells, cable assemblies and methods for strain relief
    Patent number: 11349254
    Abstract: A hinged strain relief backshell, selectively disposed about a cable, adjacent to a cable connector for selective assembly with the connector, includes a first integral semi-cylindrical backshell half and a second integral semi-cylindrical backshell half second hinged to the first integral backshell half. The integral semi-cylindrical backshell halves configured to be to be selectively disposed about the cable with one another. Each integral semi-cylindrical backshell half defining complementary half-threads defined by the respective backshell half and corresponding wrench flats defined in an outside surface portion of each backshell half. At least one of the integral semi-cylindrical backshell halves defining at least one strain clamp ear portion extending from a connector distal portion of the backshell half for retraining the cable at least in a direction parallel to the cable.
