Abstract
A metal clip is capable of securely engaging an electrical cable along the length thereof and is adapter for insertion and stable positioning within an elongated ventilation slot in the cabinet or chassis of an electronic apparatus to provide strain relief for the electrical cable. The strain relief clip may be in the form of either an appropriately twisted and bent metal wire or an appropriately configured solid metal clip formed by stamping. By providing a secure mounting for the electrical cable to the electronic device to which the cable is electrically coupled, movement between a connector located between the end of the cable and a receptacle mounted to, for example, a printed circuit board within the electronic device is prevented and electrical continuity is maintained.
