Abstract
A formed member is disclosed which has a plurality of deformable jaws capable of being associated with the ends of small service wires to clamp the insulation and conductive shield. The clamping connector thus forms an electrical coupling with the shield and at the same time locates the ends of the service wires relative to one another. An attachment portion enables the shield to be grounded and the clamped service wires to be positioned relative to a splice enclosure or other fixture. The deformable jaws interlock when deformed to hold a service wire such that purchase is insured on the insulation and conductive shield.
