Abstract
The disclosure relates to a one-piece metal clamp which is secured to a plastic connector housing having multiple electrical terminals for connection to respective wires contained in a multiple wire cable. The clamp is adapted to grasp the cable and anchor the same to the connector. The clamp is readily closed and secured on the cable without a need for a clasp. As a consequence, the clamp may be readily opened by prying with a suitable tool without incurring damage to either the clamp or the cable. The clamp is designed for preventing excessive closure on the cable and for preventing piercing or other damage to the cable.
