Abstract

See full text

A one-piece electrical fitting for connecting an electrical cable to a junction box, the electrical fitting including a tubular connector body including a leading end, a trailing end, a cap, an inner bore, and one or more grounding tangs and locking tangs. The grounding tangs include flanges and the locking tangs include free ends. A seat extends between the flanges of the grounding tangs and the free end of the locking tangs. One or more cable retaining tangs extend inward from the connector body into the inner bore. The electrical fitting is stamped and formed from a flat blank of metal. A tab and notch arrangement on the blank facilitates forming the blank into the tubular connector body. The fitting provides electrical continuity between the electrical cable, the fitting, and the junction box and stain relief to resist inadvertent removal of the electrical cable from the fitting.
