Abstract
A flexible sensor with strain relief on electrical contacts. Wires are attached to the electrical contacts, then a bulge of material is deposited over them, such as an adhesive. The wires are then bent back over the top of the bulge and secured. This prevents any tugging on the cable from pulling directly on the attachment of the wires to the contacts.
