ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes a main body having an axial passage therethrough for receiving an electrical cable and a fixed clamping jaw extending from an upper face of the main body. A movable jaw is interconnected with the clamping jaw by a plurality of screws for applying clamping forces between the fixed jaw and the movable jaw. A pivoting clamping jaw is provided which is movable from a first position extending into the axial passage in which the connector can clamp a standard size cable to a second position in which the connector can clamp an electrical cable having a smaller diameter than standard. The pivoting clamping jaw comprises a shaft and a pair of jaws extending tangentially therefrom and perpendicular to one another, one of the jaws being longer than the other.
