BANANA PLUG
First Claim
1. A banana connector, comprising:
- a connector body configured for housing a banana plug shaft;
a rear housing configured for attaching to a first end of the connector body and for housing an intermediate portion of a conductor cable, wherein the intermediate portion is between a first end and a second end of the conductor cable;
a solder junction comprising a first end of the conductor cable being soldered to the banana plug shaft;
a strain relief configured for attaching to an interior of the rear housing; and
a strain relief locking mechanism configured for holding to the intermediate portion of the conductor cable and securing the first end of the conductor cable in position, wherein the strain relief locking mechanism isolates movement of the second end of the conductor cable from the solder junction.

Abstract
A system for containing a strain relief, the system comprising an assembly housing, the assembly housing including: a first outer housing including a connector body; a second outer housing including a rear housing, wherein the first outer housing snaps into the second outer housing and creates a chain of contact points that connect components internal to the assembly housing and prevents internal components from rotating, wherein the assembly housing houses within a banana plug shaft, a strain relief and a solder junction, wherein the solder junction solders a first end of a conductor cable to the banana plug shaft, wherein the first end of the conductor cable is disposed within the assembly housing, and wherein via the chain of contact points, the banana plug shaft presses the strain relief into place and prevents movement of the strain relief and the solder junction.

7. A system for containing a strain relief, the system comprising an assembly housing, the assembly housing comprising:
-
a first outer housing comprising a connector body; a second outer housing comprising a rear housing, wherein the first outer housing snaps into the second outer housing and creates a chain of contact points that connect components internal to the assembly housing and prevents internal components from rotating, wherein the assembly housing houses within a banana plug shaft, a strain relief and a solder junction, wherein the solder junction solders a first end of a conductor cable to the banana plug shaft, wherein the first end of the conductor cable is disposed within the assembly housing, and wherein via the chain of contact points, the banana plug shaft presses the strain relief into place and prevents movement of the strain relief and the solder junction.
