A cap and connector device is provided having a great facility in assembly and disassembly for wiring. The rapid assembly is accomplished by separating two halves of the device, namely, a wire terminal portion and a cable clamping portion by removal of fastener members which extend through the wire clamp into the cable clamp portion. The fasteners employed in this device are essentially fastener type devices which have threads set at an acute angle to the fastener axis. The fasteners are also provided with a slotted head to permit use as screws. The separation or unscrewing of the fasteners is accomplished very rapidly because of the acute thread angle, and the parts are thus taken apart very quickly. After the attachment of the cable conductors to the connector terminals has been performed, the two parts are again assembled, and in this case, the fasteners permit a very rapid tightening of the two parts together. In addition, a problem of stripping the threads in the plastic portion of the connector is overcome.
