Abstract
A connector includes a housing having a receiving end, a narrow end, and two side walls. Additionally, the housing includes a cable nesting section and a closed end recess longitudinally disposed on one of the side walls. First and second guide flanges are connected to the top edges of the side walls and a clamping body is slidably engaged with the housing. The clamping body includes first and second side members with upper bearing surfaces, a base wall connecting the side members, and a clamping body nesting section. A protrusion extends from the first member, and is slidably engaged within the closed end recess. A cable passageway is formed between the nesting sections. The upper bearing surfaces of the clamping body are slidably engaged with the guide flanges of the housing.
