Abstract
An electrical connector with a cable insulation strain relief feature is disclosed. More particularly, the electrical connector includes a connector housing made of an electrically insulating material, at least one terminal in the connector housing, the terminal having a cable contact area for conductively attaching an inner conductor of a cable for conducting an electrical signal and a contacting portion for making contact with a corresponding contacting portion in a complementary mating connector. One end of the terminal is forked forming two forked portions that are bent by about 90° with respect to the non-forked portion of the terminal. A spacing between the forked portions is smaller than an outer diameter of an insulation of said cable.
