Abstract
An electrical connector 6 includes a wire restraint arm 20 extending from one side of a connector body 8. Wires 2 connected to terminals 4 in this connector 6 are positioned on an exposed concave or V-shaped surface of this wire restraint arm 20. The wire restraint arm 20 provides both strain relief and isolates the terminals 4 from external vibration or motion of the wires 2. A central wire restraint section 32 is located between an inner lip 28 and an outer lip 30 that are wider and taller than the central section 32 to form a gap 26 at least partially surrounding the central section. A conventional wire tie 50 is held in this gap with the wire tie encircling both the wire bundle and the central wire restraint section 32. Ribs 40, 42, and 44 located on the central section 32 and the lips 28, 30 grip the wire insulation, and wires on the exterior of the wire bundle engage either the ribs or the cable tie. Wire bundles of different sizes can be accommodated.
