Patent attributes
A connector assembly includes a connector body, a flexible elongate conductor, such as an electrical cable, that is terminated within the connector body, and a strain relief device attached to the connector body. The strain relief device has a clamping collar configured to surround a portion of the conductor. The clamping collar comprises a first half ring and a second half ring, each having first ends that are separable to allow the strain relief device to be fitted over the conductor. The first and second half rings each have second ends joined by a hinge feature. The clamping collar further includes means for limiting rotation of the first and second half rings about the hinge, such as a first arm extending from the first half ring and a second arm extending from the second half ring. The first arm is configured to contact the second arm, thereby limiting the rotation.
