Abstract
An improved clamp that can be inserted into a wiring device independent of a wiring termination assembly thereby reducing the complexity and cost of the manufacture of the wiring device. The clamp has a pair of legs spaced apart forming an opening to allow the wiring termination assembly to be inserted therebetween. The wiring device includes support members to support the clamp legs so to permit the clamp to pivot about the support member independently of the wiring termination assembly.
