Abstract
An integral plastic clip for retaining flat wire or ribbon cables defining a generally rectangular enclosure. The enclosure includes a planar base member adapted to be mounted to a surface and a strap member extending from the base member and forming the top and two side walls of the rectangular enclosure. The strap is integrally formed onto the base at one end and includes a releasable latch arrangement at its other end to engage the base at that second end thereby completing the rectangular enclosure. Primary and secondary curved and tapered cantilever arms extend inwardly from the top wall. The cantilever arms are provided with contoured tips to facilitate sliding movement of arms during latching engagement of the flat wire bundles.
