ABSTRACT:
An electric plug has registering housing shells which interlock when pressed together by way of flexible legs with locking feet on one of the shells which pass through passages in the other shell. These legs deflect while the feet pass through the passages whereupon the legs spring back causing the feet to snap into locking position. The housing shells present a wireway into which contact barbs and a cord piercing and spreading prong project to respectively make electrical contact with the wire leads in an insulated cord in the wireway and to pass through and clamp the cord against outwardly curved side wall portions of the wireway while the housing shells are being pressed together.
