Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0392108A2] A housing for a termination of a pair of terminals (16) onto an end of flat power cable (18) has a pair of wide cavities (92) to receive the terminated cable end from rearwardly thereof, for contact sections (30) of the terminals (16) to extend forwardly from or be exposed along the forward housing mating face (34). A strain relief member (14) is then securable to the rearward end (36) of the housing (12) such as by latching thereto, to secure the terminals (16) within the cavities (92) and define a cable exit (72) spaced rearwardly of the terminations of the terminals (16). The strain relief member (14) can be bifurcated having upper and lower struts (50,52) joined at one lateral end (56) thereof to be inserted over the flat cable (18) from one side (48), and a latch arm (58) extends forwardly from the joined end (54) and a pair of adjacent latch arms (64) extend forwardly from the unjoined ends (62) of the struts (50,52), for latching to the housing (12), and the adjacent latch arms (64) after latching act as a single latch arm.
