ABSTRACT:
An electrical fitting with an improved arrangement on the trailing end for the quick connection of electrical cables. The fitting includes a connector body with a cavity in the trailing end and a cable retainer secured therein. The tubular cable retainer is constructed of spring steel and includes a flat portion and an arcuate portion. A single cable-retaining tang extends inwardly from the flat portion and includes notched edges at its juncture with the tubular body, thereby enhancing the resiliency of the tang. A wide cable-gripping surface on the cable-retaining tang enables secure gripping of an electrical cable as it is inserted within the trailing end of the fitting. End legs on the cable-retaining tang are at an angle with respect to the edge of the cable retainer thereby orienting the end legs with the grooves on an armored or similar electrical cable.
