A clamping device comprising:
- a body defining opposite apertures to allow an elongate article to extend through the body, the body defining a space between the apertures;
- a clamping member for clamping the elongate article;
- and an insert arrangement or overmoulded part received in the space;
- the insert arrangement or overmoulded part comprising a holder defining a passage along which the elongate article can extend;
- wherein the holder includes a clamping formation, the clamping member clamping the elongate article against the clamping formation in use, and wherein the insert arrangement or overmoulded part is formed of a different material than the body.
A clamping device comprising:
- a body defining opposite apertures to allow an elongate article to extend through the body, the body defining a space between the apertures;
- a clamping member for clamping the elongate article;
- and an insert arrangement or overmoulded part received in the space;
- the insert arrangement or overmoulded part comprising a holder defining a passage along which the elongate article can extend;
- wherein the holder includes a clamping formation, the clamping member clamping the elongate article against the clamping formation in use, wherein the clamping member comprises:
- an elongate main portion having opposite ends;
- a clamping surface on the main portion;

A clamping device comprising:
- a body defining opposite apertures to allow an elongate article to extend through the body, the body defining a space between the apertures;
- a clamping member for clamping the elongate article;
- and an insert arrangement or overmoulded part received in the space;
- the insert arrangement or overmoulded part comprising a holder defining a passage along which the elongate article can extend;
- wherein the holder includes a clamping formation, the clamping member clamping the elongate article against the clamping formation in use, wherein the passage has an entrance end through which the elongate article enters the passage when the elongate article is introduced into the passage, wherein the passage has an exit end through which the elongate article exits the passage after the elongate article has been introduced into the passage, wherein the holder defines opposite openings for the passage through which the elongate article can extend, wherein one of the opposite openings is an entrance opening at the entrance end of the passage, and wherein the other of the opposite openings is an exit opening at the exit end of the passage, wherein the body includes a chamber at an end of the body, wherein a spring extends from the chamber into the holder via the exit opening, wherein the spring is for urging the clamping member into clamping engagement with the elongate article.
