Abstract (en)

A strain relief device using a pair of posts within a housing with a wire cable routed around the posts so that one portion of the wire cable presses back on to another portion and presses it against one of the posts as a pulling force is applied to the cable. The wire cable is cinched against one of the posts. As the pulling force increases, the cinching action increases proportionately. The strain relief is low profile and has a height approximately the equal to the diameter of the wire cable. <IMAGE>
