Pic has a mockup of what I need to do.
LED driver, with black/white AC input. Easy there, run NM to box, use 2 bolt pinch clamp on metal box, ground to box, use wire nuts.
On the DC side I have 2 tiny single conductors (red/blue), like #18 AWG which need to exit the box, and that's where I'm not sure what to do for strain relief.
I'm aware of the Daniel Woodhead/Brad Harrison "mini" cordset system, commonly used in automotive manufacturing. Basically its a 2 to 12 pin system with molded cords, field-wireable male & female connectors, and receptacles. So I could involve that system. Problem is the parts aren't cheap, quick study says I'd be around $20-25 per box and I have 3 setups similar to makeup.
Just curious what kinds of options I have on the DC side to make an orderly setup without involving lots of funds, that my inspector isn't going to flag down.
