DEFINITION

Classification: 439/836

Slidably mounted cam or wedge locks or places resilient securing part into securing condition:

(under subclass 835) Electrical connector wherein the movably secured means operated by the user includes either (a) a member having diverging opposed surfaces which is slid relative to the body of the connector by the user; or (b) a member which is slid relative to a curved, inclined, or tapered surface on the body of the connector by the user; which slidable member either distorts the connector or maintains the elastic body in distorted condition to prevent removal of a conductor clamped to the connector.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

863+, for a metallic connector having a movable securing part which is neither spring operated or resilient nor screw-thread operated and in which the clamping force is caused by a cam or wedge.
