ABSTRACT:
An electrical fixture comprising a body, first flange, and second flange. The body may have a terminal for securing a transmission line. The first flange may secure to the body to extend away therefrom toward a first end. The second flange may secure to the body to extend toward a second end. The first and second flanges may each include a pair of ears, the first and second pairs of ears being located proximate the first and second ends, respectively. The ears of the first and second pairs of ears may be spaced apart in a third direction substantially orthogonal to the first and second directions. The ears may be formed to have an extended portion, most distant from the body, and a recessed portion, spaced away from the extended portion toward the body and presenting an edge extending in the third direction.
