Abstract
Passive strain relief apparatus provides relief of strain on cable connections to electrical components within an electrical device such as a point of sale terminal, which strain is caused by tension on cables extending from said device. The strain relief apparatus includes a flexible strain relief element which is located within said device and is positioned adjacent to an opening in said device through which the cables extend. The cables are pinched by recesses in the strain relief element in which they are positioned. Tension on the cables causes said strain relief element to flex, thereby relieving the tension.
