  • Electrical plugs with integrated strain relief and method of manufacture
    Patent number: 9954337
    Abstract: Overmolded electrical plugs with integrated strain relief are disclosed. The strain relief may have multiple protrusions extending though the overmolded housing which are visible to users. The strain relief may employ a ratcheting mechanism which permanently secures the strain relief on the electrical power cord. The strain relief may be partially assembled in a pre-lock configuration on the electrical power cord where the strain relief may be positioned on the power cord, and then be further pressed to a locked configuration in which the is securely attached to the power cord. The strain relief is self-aligned on the electrical plug during an assembly process.
    Type: Grant
