Abstract
A cable connector for securely connecting an electric cable to the housing of an electric device such as a motor. The connector includes a body and a nut, the body having a rearwardly extending, elongated neck with an internal bore through which may be passed a cable or the like. The neck is externally threaded along at least a portion of its length to receive the internally threaded nut, and the wall of the neck has at least one generally U-shaped slot therethrough to provide at least one forwardly-extending ear movable radially inwardly and outwardly of the neck. The radial thickness of the at least one ear increases forwardly, with the thickness of the ear at its forward end being greater than that of the adjacent neck walls, whereby, as the nut is threaded forwardly onto the neck, the ear is cammed inwardly of the bore to firmly grasp a cable.
