Abstract:
A tension-relieving assembly for a cable (1) having parallel extending insulated conductors (2) provided thereon, said assembly including a cable guiding member (5) and a conductor guiding member (9), conductor guiding ducts (13) formed in said conductor guiding member (9) in an offset relation to said insulated conductors (2) and said cable (1) characterized in that:said conductor guiding member (9) is formed with a conductor lead-in end (10) facing said cable guiding member (5), an annular collar (11) is located at said lead-in end (10), a fixing element (12) is located inwardly of said annular collar (11) and cooperates with said annular collar (11) to define an annular space therebetween, said conductor guiding ducts (13) open into said annular space, said cable guiding member (5) has a cable exit end (7) facing said conductor guiding member (9), walls defining a stepped recess (8) are formed in said cable guiding member (5) inwardly of said cable exit end (7), said cable guiding member (5) is shaped to mate with said conductor guiding member (9) so that said fixing element (12) extends into said stepped recess (8) to engage said insulated conductors (2) and force them against said walls of said stepped recess (8),said conductor-guiding ducts (13) extend axially through said conductor-guiding part (9) and define a path which is bent twice, and said conductor-guiding part (9) is provided with slot shaped recesses adapted to receive ends of cutting terminal contacts (19), said ends passing through said bent region of said conductor-guiding ducts (13).
