Abstract: A cable clamping arrangement (2) for an electrical connector arranged to hold a cable or bundle of wires (7) firmly in place so as to provide strain relief to the wire terminations. In the described embodiment the cable (7) is clamped by being urged into a pair of V-notches (5) formed in a hollow member (3). In one form of the device a flexible tie (8), extending through the interior of the hollow member (3), pulls the cable (7) into the V-notches (5). In other forms of the device the cable (7) is pulled into the V-notches (5) by a rigid hook (11) also extending through the interior of the hollow member (3).

Abstract: An electrical connector including a rigid core having spaced shaped grooves each mounting an elongate resilient member. A flexible strip of insulating material is wrapped around the core. A plurality of spaced apart conductive strips is provided on the strip so that the strips extend circumferentially around the core.
