ABSTRACT:
A one-piece tubular snap-in electrical connector for connecting electrical cables to junction boxes. The connector is formed from an elastic material and includes tangs projecting outwardly from the tubular body which function to lock the forward end in a junction box and cause the connector to be grounded to the junction box. Inward projecting tangs on the opposite end of the connector are spaced to anchor successive helixes on a helically-wound cable. The ends of the inward projecting tangs force an inserted cable to be channeled against one inner wall of the tubular body and resist rearward movement of the cable once it is thus inserted.
