An over-mold strain relief for an electrical connector-cable combination is provided and includes an electrical connector assembly having an electrical connector including an electrical connector base and an electrical cable, wherein the electrical cable includes a minimum bend radius and is connected to the electrical connector proximate the connector base. An over-mold material is also provided and is associated with the electrical connector assembly to cover a portion of the electrical connector and the electrical cable, wherein the over-mold material forms a strain relief portion having a strain relief portion length that covers the cable, wherein the strain relief portion includes a plurality of slots which are distributed along the strain relief portion length and wherein the strain relief portion length is within the range of between about 30% to about 60% of the minimum bend radius of the cable.
