Abstract
An electrical cord clamp is disclosed for securing an end of an electrical cord to an electrical device or connector. The electrical cord clamp provides strain relief between the ends of the electrical conductors of the electrical cord and the terminals of the electrical device or connector. The cord clamp has a pair of clamping members slidably coupled to a pair of housing halves of the electrical device for slidably engaging the electrical cord upon installation thereon to pull the electrical cord towards the terminals of the electrical device or connector. The clamping members can have one or more spring elements or arms integrally formed therewith for normally biasing the clamping members to their original position prior to assembly within the electrical device or connector.
