Abstract

A co-axial table connector includes a wire-seizing mechanism that includes a pair of spaced, wire-seizing elements. An outer end of each element is angled inwardly so that both outer ends converge symmetrically with respect to each other. A cam member slidably fits over the elements and has divergent surfaces which come into camming contact with the convergent ends. This forces the elements inwardly and causes them to grip the end of a co-axial wire.
