Cable strain relief products protects the internal equipment wiring by taking the strain off wire-to-board connections. The most common form of strain relief is a one piece section of plastic with a half-clip on either end that clamps over a cable and then press-fits into a panel wall to clamp the cable. Pressure is relieved from the board connection by the clamping action of the strain relief. Some times called a Double D strain relief Bushing because two sides of the bushing are flat so that the device does not spin within the chassis panel cut-out.
Grommets are also used as strain relief components that press fit into panels. However a Grommet does not offer that same protect as the one-piece clamp style. The grommet style also requires the cable to be forced through the hole of the grommet, requiring one of the cable to be free from a connection or end section.
Cable strain relief components are made for either round or flat cables and may be straight-thru or Right-Angle .
