Abstract: A cable clamp for an electrical connector in which first and second clamping walls are moved into overlapping relation to deform transversely and trap between them a portion of the cable to be terminated. Cam means urge overlapping portions of the walls together into gripping engagement with the trapped cable portion and cable gripping means insure that cable is only drawn from one direction during clamping to avoid straining the termination.

Abstract: An electrical ballast for use with fluorescent light fixtures includes a housing with side and endwalls. The endwalls have cutout portions therein for receiving an electrical connector. The electrical components which comprise the ballast are mounted on a printed circuit board, and the connector is electrically interconnected to the printed circuit board and inserted within the cutout portion of the ballast housing. The connector is profiled for receipt within the cutout portion to seal the cavity within the housing during the curing period of the potting compound.

Abstract: An electrical connector comprising a metal sleeve having a locking cap rotatably mounted on the sleeve to extend from a mating end, a generally cylindrical, insulating, terminal-locating block receivable as a close fit within the sleeve to locate terminals projecting from the mating end and a retention bush to retain the terminal-locating block in the sleeve. The block is bipartite, each part being generally hemicylindrical and being formed with terminal-receiving recesses at a mating end communicating with a cable-receiving recess at a rear end across which extends a cable-clamping rib, a drain wire-receiving passageway extending radially through the body.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly provides electrical outlets for undercarpet power cable and for communication cable, and a divider plate of the assembly divides the assembly into separate compartments that separate electrical connections of outlets to the power cable from electrical connections of outlets to the communication cable.

Abstract: This invention relates to electrical connectors for flat cable and more particularly to an electrical connector assembly having fanned out circuit traces for connection to flat cable conductors.
