Abstract
An electrical connector assembly for installation on a cable including a connector housing, a connector body lockably receivable in the housing, an adjustable grasping assembly for securely engaging the cable, and a collar threadably engagable on the housing for adjusting the grip on the cable. Advantageously, at least two clip members are mounted to the body and are formed with fastening portions adapted to engage receiving members in the housing for assembly of the body and housing without requiring threaded fasteners. Also advantageously, the housing is provided with a detent member adapted to project against the threads of the collar which is provided with abutment means to be abutted by the detent when reverse threading of the collar is attempted, but permit threading of the collar onto the housing in ratchet-like manner. Furthermore, the body may be formed with recesses extending radially inwardly thereof for retaining electrical contacts within the projected area of the body, and with apertures in the back of the body, providing access to the contact for an electrical conductor.
