Abstract

See full text

An electrical wiring device designed to be attachable to a cable in the field includes a housing which receives a core. Electrical contact elements (male or female) are carried by the core. At the rear of the housing, in an extension which receives the cable. The extension includes a series of spaced, truncated walls are formed in opposing relation to similar truncated walls formed in the clamp member. When the clamp is assembled to the housing extension, each pair of opposing truncated walls defines a cable-receiving aperture which is sized to clamp to a given range of cable sizes for strain relief. By reversing the clamp, the clamp-receiving apertures clamp to a different range of cable sizes while providing strain relief for the connections. The clamp also secures the core to the housing in either position of attachment.
