Abstract:
1. An electrical connector for clamping a cable to an electrical junction box having female screw threads in an exterior wall of the box, said connector comprising (a) a hollow cylindrical body defining a tubular space configured to axially receive the cable, (b) a butt flange positioned at a first end of the body, (c) circumferentially disposed male screw threads on an exterior portion of the body, said threads being operative to mate with the female screw threads, (d) a self-actuating cable immobilizer integrally formed on the cylindrical body in the tubular space and configured to irreversibly accept the cable inserted axially into the first end, in which the butt flange has a radial dimension effective to stop the connector from screwing into the female screw threads in an axial direction beyond a position at which the butt flange contacts the exterior wall.
