Abstract
A plug assembly with strain relief includes a housing and a clamping basket which has radially movable clamping fingers. The clamping basket defines an axis and is constructed to allow insertion of a cable into the housing in a direction of the axis. A rotary sleeve is supported on the housing for rotation but substantially fixed in an axial position with respect to the housing. The rotary sleeve is hereby configured to move an element (e.g. the clamping basket itself, or a pinch ring) in the axial direction, when rotated, to thereby modify a radial position of the clamping fingers.
Claims15
A plug assembly with strain relief, comprising:
- a housing;
- a clamping basket having radially movable clamping fingers, with the clamping basket defining an axis and constructed to allow insertion of a cable into the housing in a direction of the axis;
- and
- a rotary sleeve supported on the housing for rotation but fixed in an axial position with respect to the housing, without formation of a gap of variable width to thereby protect and interior space from external influence, with the rotary sleeve being configured to move an element in the direction of the axis within the interior space, when rotated, to thereby modify a radial position of the clamping fingers.
