Abstract
A plastic insulator for holding an electrified conductor, and particularly a conductor of a tape configuration, in insulated relation to a fence post and in elevated position above the ground. The insulator includes a clamping arrangement releasably holding the conductor against axial or radial movement by a pair of conductor engaging members hinged together for movement between a tape receiving and a tape clamping position. The clamping arrangement includes a latch mechanism with a coating finger and a deflectable tab with an opening to receive the finger to prevent relative movement of the conductor engaging members and inadvertent opening of the clamping arrangement.
