ABSTRACT:
A duplex electrical fitting having an improved arrangement on the trailing end for attaching electrical cables thereto. A connector body includes a leading opening, a midportion, two trailing openings, and a sidewall. Two open channels are provided in the sidewall on the trailing end of the connector, one open channel into each trailing opening. Each of the open channels extends from the trailing opening to the midportion of the connector body. Each of the channels includes a bridge adjacent the trailing opening which bridges each of the open channels. Each of the bridges is adapted to receive a tandem tang secured thereto. The tandem tangs include a common middle section and a leading tang and a trailing tang extending therefrom. Cable grabbing ends are provided on both the leading and trailing tangs. The leading and trailing tangs extend from outward of the connector body into the open channel. The tangs are of substantial length and are cantilevered over such a distance so as to enable easy insertion of cable within the trailing opening. The open channel permits additional space for flexing of the tangs of the tandem tang to further ease insertion of cables into the fitting. Bend lines on the leading and trailing tangs direct the cable grabbing ends toward an inserted cable and thereby hold the cable against the bottom of the open channel.
