ABSTRACT:
A cable clamping device is disclosed for use with an electrical connector for electrically terminating conductors of a multi-conductor flat cable. The cable clamping device includes a pair of clamp members hingedly attached defining mating faces profiled to provide a cable passage therebetween. Complementary interengaging latches on the clamp members hold the members together sandwiching the cable in the passage. A deformable stop is provided on at least one of the clamp members and projecting transversely into the passage for abutting an end of the cable to define a longitudinal position of the cable. The stop is deformable to allow a given cable to extend past the stop out of the passage beyond the clamping device. The clamp members are hingedly attached by a pair of hinge portions on opposite sides of the passage whereby the given cable can pass between the hinge portions beyond the clamping device when the stop is deformed. At least one of the hinge portions is frangible to allow a cable to be inserted edge-wise into the passage. The entire cable clamping device is unitarily molded of dielectric material such as plastic or the like.
