Abstract
An electrical connector includes a shell having a cavity and a cable-receiving opening adapted to receive an electrical cable. The opening defines an axis, and a pair of screw posts are located in the cavity spaced on opposite sides of the axis such that the cable can be positioned therebetween. A cable clamp member includes a center section adapted to embrace one side of the cable, and a pair of wing sections extending from the center section and having screw-receiving holes alignable with the screw posts. The clamp member includes flanges projecting from the wing sections, with the flanges having slots for embracing ribs on the shell to preposition the cable clamp member over the cable with the screw-receiving holes aligned with the screw posts.
