ABSTRACT:
A connector for coupling an electrical conduit to a support, such as junction box, having variable thickness. The connector includes a one-piece tubular body member with resilient legs having locking tongues, external threads, and a receiving formation for receiving the conduit; and a one-piece take-up nut with an abutment surface and internal threads for engaging the external threads of the body member. The resilient legs are snapped into the support, and the take-up nut is screwed onto the body, clamping the support between the locking tongues of the legs and the abutment surface of the take-up nut. The electrical conduit is frictionally retained in an annular recess in the body member or is threadedly retained within the hollow portion of the body member or within the take-up nut. The conduit is a sheath, cable, or other suitable signal line.
