Electrical box

An electrical box comprising:

• an enclosure having a bottom wall and a peripheral wall extending away from the bottom wall in an axial direction of the enclosure to define a cavity of the enclosure, a front opening of the enclosure providing access to the cavity thereof;
• a retainer wall extending axially from the bottom wall and spaced from the peripheral wall in a radial inward direction of the enclosure;
• and
• a clamping element disposed in a clamp opening formed between the peripheral wall and the retainer wall with respect to a radial direction of the enclosure and held by a press fit, the clamping element applying a clamping force to an electrical cable extending through a gap formed between the peripheral wall and the clamping element, wherein the bottom wall, the peripheral wall, and the retainer wall cooperate with each other to form the clamp opening, wherein the clamping element is divided into an upper portion and a lower portion by a protuberance, wherein the lower portion of the clamping element is received entirely in the clamp opening by a press-fit and the upper portion extends outside of the clamp opening in a freely disposed position, and wherein the gap is formed between the upper portion of the clamping element and peripheral wall with respect to an entire width of the clamping element perpendicular to an axial direction of the enclosure.
