ABSTRACT:
An electrical fitting having an improved arrangement on the trailing end for attaching electrical cables thereto. A connector body includes a trailing opening and an intermediate flange. An open channel extends from the trailing opening to the intermediate flange and includes a bottom. A bridge on the connector body adjacent the trailing opening is adapted to receive a tandem tang secured thereto. The tandem tang includes a common middle section and a leading tang and a trailing tang extending therefrom. Cable grabbing ends are provided on both the leading and trailing tangs. The leading and trailing tangs extend from outward of the connector body into the open channel. The tangs are of substantial length and are cantilevered over such a distance so as to enable easy insertion of cable within the trailing opening. The open channel permits additional space for flexing of the tangs of the tandem tang to further ease insertion of cables into the fitting. Bend lines on the leading and trailing tangs direct the cable grabbing ends toward an inserted cable and thereby hold the cable against the bottom of the open channel.
