ABSTRACT:
A connector for connecting non-metallic sheathed cable of both the round and oval types to electrical boxes in which the connector is of all plastic, one piece construction, free of clamps and screwing, and comprises a ring shaped segmented body defining a collet like cable gripping portion comprising a plurality of pairs of opposed resilient jaws in which the jaws each comprise a finger having a split base portion projecting from one end of the body and a jaw head directed laterally of and toward the body axis such that the jaw heads are grouped together, collet fashion, in spaced apart relation. The collet jaws are shaped to integrally connect together the body segments for reducing the diameter of the body for application purposes, and the jaws are formed for snap fit mounting of the connector in a knock-out opening of the box, they being arranged to be sprung apart to accept and pass the end of a cable being thrust through the connector for reception in the box. The jaws act to be drawn together and set against the cable when the cable is subject to movement tendencies outwardly of the box, to hold the cable end within the box, and without requiring clamps or crimping devices in connection therewith.
