Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
114 words
An electrical strain relief device adapted for use with an electrical component and formed integrally therewith, defining a flexible clamp member and a plurality of terminals, one of said terminals having a pair of angular bends vertically disposed in relationship to each other, said terminal having a cable support surface adjacent to the distal end thereof, said cable support surface having a pair of downwardly depending shoulders longitudinally spaced from each other a distance substantially equivalent to the width of the flexible clamp member to ensure alignment of said clamp member with the support surface, whereby compression of the clamp member wilL maintain an electrical cable disposed therein in fixed relationship to said terminal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
