Abstract
An apparatus for securing a wire with a longitudinal axis includes a glass filled polyester base having a recess for housing a segment of the wire therein; and a glass filled polyester cover for at least partially covering the segment within the recess, the cover having a resilient finger which is generally transverse to the segment, the segment being generally deformed about the resilient finger within the recess in order that tension on the wire along the longitudinal axis flexes the resilient finger which, in turn, forces a portion of the segment against a side of the recess in order to secure the segment therein. The wires may have a polytetrafluoroethylene insulation.
