Hard/Soft Cable Strain Relief

C&M engineers have designed a hard/soft strain relief that eliminates all stress and strain from the electrical conductors’ termination points. This new design is engineered with an anti-twist function as well as the elimination of the pistoning action of conductors inside the cable jacket at the termination point of an assembly. The hard/soft strain relief is designed to meet or exceed the straight pull test of its corresponding cable and connected assembly. The weighted 180° tick-tock flex tension testing has successfully achieved 750,000 cycles. Through in-house molding technology capabilities, C&M matches the contours of the assembly attachment area, making the interface both secure and esthetically pleasing. The unique strain relief can be produced in PVC (and its alloys), polyurethane, TPR, and other materials as well.
