Abstract
A strain relief and a cable termination assembly using the same. The strain relief includes tapered beams for minimizing stress applied to a cable during relative movement, particularly angular movement, namely bending, of the cable and a cable termination; the tapered beams undergo controlled bending according to a prescribed function, a securing mechanism secures the tapered beams to the cable termination, and a holding mechanism holds the beams with respect to the cable to control the bending thereof. A low profile cable termination assembly and a printed circuit termination assembly also are disclosed.
