ABSTRACT:
An electrical cable connector for releasably electrically connecting ends of an electrical cable comprises a female element coupled to one end of the electrical cable, and a male element coupled to another end of the electrical cable. The male element is releasably connectable with the female element. A locking groove is disposed on one of the female element and the male element. A screw is removably disposed on another one of the female element and the male element. A cam surface is located on the screw and is engagable with the locking groove such that the cam surface cams along the locking groove responsive to rotation of the female element relative to the male element to releasably connect the female element with the male element thereby electrically connecting the ends of the electrical cable. A slot is operatively associated with the locking groove. The slot is contractible responsive to camming of the cam surface along the locking groove to facilitate releasable connection of the female element with the male element. The slot is offset about 45 degrees counterclockwise from a latitudinal midline of the one of the female element and the male element.
