DEFINITION

Classification: 439/449

WITH STRESS RELIEVING MEANS FOR CONDUCTOR TO TERMINAL JOINT:

(under the class definition) Electrical connector combined with distinct means for carrying the reactive physical load from the tension of an electricity transmitting suspended conductor or cable to thereby prevent that physical load from being transmitted to the electricity transmitting joint.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

296+, for means to hold a pair of coupling parts together which may inherently relieve load on a conductor from being

transmitted to a contact.

399, for a contact comprising an insulation cutter having a slot edge for cutting insulation, wherein the contact engages the conductor at axially spaced points, with a stress relieving means.

401, for a contact comprising an insulation cutter having a slot edge for cutting insulation, with a stress relieving means to engage the conductor at a second axial location.

407, for a contact comprising an insulation cutter having a slot edge for cutting insulation, wherein the contact is a portion of an elongated channel, with a stress relieving means.

455+, for a connector having a flexible or movably mounted conductor or cable guard. 604+, for a connector in which the conductor or cable is embedded in molded insulation or sealing material.

115+, for a cord or rope holder having or constituting a stress reliever not limited to use with an electrical conductor.

174, Electricity: Conductors, and Insulators,

65, and 135 for a strain reliever limited to use with an electrical conductor but not claiming connector structure.

257, Active Solid-State Devices (e.g.., Transistors, Solid-State Diodes),

178, 179, and 669 for devices with electrical conductor (including lead frame) stress/strain relief.
