ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to electrical connectors, specifically to an electrical connector that is easy to insert into a hole or knock-out of an electrical junction box. Design of the connector provides for positive fixture of the connector in the box once non-metallic sheathed cable, either oval or circular in cross-directional shape, is inserted through the connector, thus preventing the cable from being withdrawn. The C-shaped one piece connector of this disclosure contains an integral hinge, a cutout area, and a necked down area on the top flange to provide for easy flexing about the central insertion axis and therefore easy insertion into an electrical junction box. The jaws of the electrical connector are designed such that a positive bite or grip is applied to an oval or circular non-metallic sheathed cable as tension is applied on said cable to attempt to remove it from said electrical enclosure.
