Wiring Stress Relief Techniques and other Questions

[hutch009]

Hello All :D

Besides heat shrink and hot glue what are other ways to provide stress relief on wires soldered to sound cards? Since heat shrink isn't a good idea on resistors what else can be used to provide some protection from resistors hitting the inside of the hilt?

Thanks in Advance

Resistors don’t usually hit inside the hilt, unless you have somethign really funky going on. Most wired hilts have at least some amount of slack in them, which takes care of “stress”. As long as you plan everything well, you should be in good shape.
