For use with class II sockets, stock nos. 121-0810 and 120-6798

Prolong the life of your cable assembly with this Class II strain relief clip from 3M. It snaps easily onto any 3000 series Class II socket to take the strain off the ribbon cable, meaning the IDC (insulation-displacement contact) connection isn't subjected to any mechanical stress. You can use 3M's 3000 series connectors to quickly and easily connect ribbon cables with the IDC method. This saves time and effort, as the stripping and preparation of wires is unnecessary.

Strain relief is a fixture found on many cable assemblies that helps to prevent the cable connections from breaking. In most types of cable assemblies, it comes pre-moulded as part of the connector and often has a ridged design that lets it bend to a limited degree. Strain relief for IDC connectors often comes as a separate piece that can be clipped onto the connector after the conductors have been installed.
