Abstract:
An electrical conductor strain relief for connecting electrical conductors to a printed circuit board, the strain relief comprising:a first member having at least one first conductor receiving hole, the first member being adapted to be connected to the printed circuit board; and a second member having at least one second conductor receiving hole, the second member being connectable to the first member at a predetermined fixed location such that the second hole is at least partially aligned with the first hole as a pair of holes, the first and second holes of the pair of holes having center axes which are offset relative to each other; wherein the first member comprises a plurality of the first holes arranged in an array of rows, the first holes being equally spaced from adjacent ones of the first holes in a uniform pattern; and wherein the second member comprises a plurality of the second holes arranged in two sub-arrays, the second holes in each sub-array being equally spaced a first distance from adjacent ones of the second holes in its row, and the two sub-arrays being spaced from each other at a different second distance.
