Abstract
A strain relief device (10) for wires is formed of a nonconductive plate (12) having a central axis (18) and a plurality of through-holes (14) distributed around the central axis (18). Each through-hole has a diameter selected to permit a wire to pass through it without binding. The non-conductive plate (12) includes a plurality of shoulders (20), one shoulder associated with each through-hole (14) and located between its associated through-hole and the outer perimeter of the plate (12). A preferred method of using the strain relief device is also described.
