Now I understand flexible and rigid strain relief, the flexible having a corrigated sheaving. What I don't understand is the comment on the nut.
What is dome nut or a flex nut. Or am I getting all tangled in their terminology? Been there done that before also.
The proper name for a cord strain relief assembly is "Strain Relief Nut". The vendors sell 2 types of strain relief nuts. The 1st style is call a flex nut and the 2nd style is a dome nut. The 1st tab shows a "flex nut" image and the 2nd tab shows a "dome nut" image.

Although the blue tabs display different pix, I think the description(verbage) is the same for all four. If they would refer to the 'nuts' as nuts and the bushing as a bushing and the flex strain relief as a strain relief(flexible) it would be much less confusing.

IMHO too many non-relevant details where they do not belong. Each description should be different!!!!! The item is different, why isn't the verbage that it belongs to different as well????:(
