Abstract

A strain relief for a cable and its method are provided. A strain relief for a cable, includes: a first member including: a main body having an opening for receiving a cable and a locking member, and a second complementary member including: a main body having an opening for receiving the cable; and at least one flexible finger having a finger body extending from the main body of the second complementary member, an inner barb formed at an inner end of the finger body for engaging into the outer jacket of the cable upon insertion of the complementary second member into the main body of the first member, and an outer barb formed at an outer end of the finger body for snapping into the locking member. A method for a cable strain relief having a first member and a second member, includes: inserting at least one flexible finger of the second member together with a cable into the main body of the first member, including: compressing the finger of the second member into an outer jacket of the cable so that the inner barb of the finger pinches the outer jacket; and snapping the outer barb of the finger into the locking member of the first member. A strain relief for a cable, includes: a main body having a substantially cylindrical inner space defined by an inner surface; and a plurality of resilient locking barbs on the inner surface of the main body, extending to the longitudinal axis of the main body, for deflecting upon insertion of a cable into the inner space and snapping the an outer jacket of the cable. A method for a cable strain relief, includes; inserting a cable into the inner space of a strain relief main body so that the barbs of the main body deflect and snap an outer jacket of the cable; and overmolding the main body together with the cable.
