Strain Relieving Phono Plugs

Professional results!!? I've seen the wires tied in knots, taped, rolled and melted and other extremes. If these are the little D shaped clips, usually pinching them on the flat side to form a slight V downward is sufficient to grasp the cable. If someone steps on the wire and rips it out, they shouldn't expect it to stay intact. Once you crimp it you can always slide a short piece of shrink tube over it and apply heat-to-shrink. This will make a finished look and provide a little more relief to the cable. this way even a messy little crimping will be hidden from prying eyes. They also figure you went the extra yard to secure the wires properly.

Guest,

I would try to contact the connector manufacturer to see what tooling they recommend. The "cleanest" looking cables are going to have molded strain relief, but you have to have the quantities to make that financially feasible.

Used it for years, never a call back.

Pretend you are begging a lacing and whip tie the portion under the backshell.
