Connector for an electric cable with a tensile strain relieving device |
(57) The invention relates to a connector for an electric cable with a tensile strain
relieving device, for example an extension cord socket, a plug or the like. The strain
relieving device in the connector comprises a clamping member (6) which consists of
a bottom part (8) and an upper part (9), which in open position are interconnected
through a foldable spacing piece (10) serving as a joint. The parts (8,9) of the clamping
member are designed such that, when being folded over the cable (12), they enter into
locking engagement with each other. The strain relieving device (6,7) is connected
to the terminal block (2) of the connector and can advantageously be integrated with
said terminal block (2).
