Abstract
An electrical connector is formed with a receptacle through which the cable entry passes. A clamping block may be slidably engaged in the receptacle to engage the cable. The clamping block has end portions interlocking with the receptacle, an axial central portion, and cable-engaging portions extending oppositely from the central portion. Clamping is achieved by screws passing through slots in wings formed on the clamping portions, the screws engaging in bosses formed in the receptacle.
