D-sub connectors were invented in the 1950s and are named after their D-shaped metal shield. D-subs became the standard connector for older computer systems and are still found in some modern computers. They're also found in audio systems.

Electrical connections will function fine at first without strain relief, but they can work loose over time, particularly when the connection is subjected to a lot of movement or vibration. By installing strain relief, you can guard against this.
