ABSTRACT:
An electrical fitting for rapid connection of an electrical cable to a panel or a junction box. The electrical fitting includes an improved arrangement on the trailing end for securing electrical cables thereto. A connector body having a cavity in the trailing end includes a cable retainer secured therein. The cable retainer includes a substantially tubular body and is constructed of spring steel. The tubular body includes a flat portion and an arcuate portion. A single cable retaining tang extends inwardly from the flat portion. A substantial portion of the single tang is split by a notch thereby creating two fingers on the tang. The two-fingered tang enables the fitting to accommodate a wide range of electrical cables.
