Abstract
An insulated cord clamp is provided for an electrical cap and for a connector. The cord clamp includes an inner collar and an outer collar which are mechanically linked to be moved axially relative to one another. The clamped cable or cord passes through the collars. A set of cleats or double wedges is joined by a flexible web and arranged in annular configuration within the collars to grip the cable. A set of ramps conforms to the set of double wedges with a first wedge of each double wedge disposed in each ramp. The outer collar has a beveled annular surface which operates as a continuous ramp on the second wedge of each double wedge of the set. The element constituting the set of double wedges and flexible web is formed flat. A double wedge is at one end of the element and has latching means for joining the other end thereto to give the element the annular form in which it is used.
