Abstract

An improved strain relief device is disclosed incorporated to a cover of a multi-conductor flat flexible cable connector. The connector includes a plurality of insulation piercing contacts which engage in the respective conductors of the cable and latchingly secure the cover to the connector housing. The cover also provides a tortuous path for the cable thereby providing a strain relief function.
