Abstract
A readily assembled and detachable clamp for securing an electrical connector to a base. The clamp has a lower leg which extends horizontally and terminates in a reverse bend extending into an upper leg which from the reverse bend tapers upwardly over the lower leg to a flat portion lying over the lower leg. This portion terminates at the outer end in an upright leg which acts as a stop for the head of a screw which is threaded through a threaded hole in the flat portion of the upper leg and into engagement with the lower leg to clamp the latter to the base as well as to the electrical connector and also the upright leg provides a handle to insert and remove the clamp and align it properly in place.
