ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This Invention relates to a strain relief adapter for an electrical connector, and Is more particularly concerned with a non-bulging quick snap-on strain relief adapter for an elongate electrical connector. Although elongate electrical connectors may employ a strain relief clamp for the entire cable, It is highly desirable to provide strain relief for each of the individual conductors in order to prevent accidental and inadvertent dislodging of the conductors from the contacts. Known Is a strain relief adapter having an elongate member which carries a plurality of transversely extending members for pressing against the individual conductors on one side of an electrical connector. Arms at opposite ends of the elongate member embrace the rear end of the electrical connector for anchoring the adapters to the connector. However, since the member Is anchored only at its ends, the member bulges at the center and tends to ride up toward the rear of the connector, thereby causing decreased strain relief for the center conductors. The strain relief adapter of the present Invention carries a plurality of hook-shaped elements for positively aligning pressure members with the conductors and for preventing ride-up of the adapter when these elements engage a forward facing surface of the electrical connector. The adapter also includes a resilient latch mechanism to engage a shoulder at the rear end of the electrical connector for holding the adapter to the electrical connector and for preventing bulging at the center of the adapter.
