Patent ID: 8038464

Claim:
An electrical connector assembly providing a strain relief for electrical wiring, said connector assembly comprising: a housing, said housing defining a cavity adapted to receive an end portion of at least one wire, and a rear passageway adapted to receive the at least one wire into said cavity from outside of said housing; a mounting surface at said housing, said mounting surface positioned near said rear passageway; at least four clamping members adapted to be coupled to said mounting surface in spaced arrangement to define a strain relief passageway between selected ones of said clamping members, the dimensions of said strain relief passageway being selectable according to the respective shapes of said selected clamping members; wherein a first pair of said clamping members comprises a first general shape corresponding to a relatively larger strain relief passageway, and a second pair of said clamping members comprises a second general shape different from said first general shape, said second pair of clamping members corresponding to a relatively smaller strain relief passageway that is smaller than said larger strain relief passageway; and wherein said strain relief passageway is adaptable to receive different sizes or quantities of wiring entering said cavity of said housing and to provide a strain relief to the wiring depending upon which two of said clamping members are at said mounting surface.
