An integral plastic clip for retaining flat wire or ribbon cables defining a generally rectangular enclosure. The enclosure includes a planar base member adapted to be mounted to a surface and a strap member extending from the base member and forming the top and two side walls of the rectangular enclosure. The strap is integrally formed onto the base at one end and includes a releasable latch arrangement at its other end to engage the base at that second end thereby completing the rectangular enclosure. Primary and secondary curved and tapered cantilever arms extend inwardly from the top wall. The cantilever arms are provided with contoured tips to facilitate sliding movement of arms during latching engagement of the flat wire bundles.

A clip for retaining flat wire or ribbon cables on a surface including a base; means for mounting the base to the surface; a strap integrally affixed to the base at a first end of the strap; latch means for attaching a second end of the strap to the base thereby closing the clip and creating a cable retention passage within the region bounded by the strap and base, the strap having a center section oriented in opposed relationship to the base when the clip is closed; means integrally affixed to the strap center section and extending toward the base for biasing wires or cables in the passage against the base, said biasing means including first flexible cantilever means integral to, and extending from, the strap center section substantially along the passage toward the base; second flexible cantilever means integral to, and extending from, the strap center section toward the base to a point proximate the first flexible cantilever means, the distal end of the second cantilever means adapted for sliding engagement along the first cantilever means upon latching of cables in the clip; the cable retention passage being defined as the region between the base and the biasing means whereby the cantilever means act and coact to urge flat wire or ribbon cables into abutting contact against the base when the clip is closed.
