Electrical wiring device

An electrical connector adapted for attachment to a cable having a plurality of insulated conductors, comprising:

• a core including a plurality of connector elements, each adapted to be connected to an associated conductor of said cable;
• a housing having a generally cylindrical first portion receiving said core and an extension adapted to receive said cable, said extension including three interior truncated walls extending generally perpendicular to an axis of said housing and spaced along said axis, each of said truncated walls of said extension having a free end, adjacent ones of said free ends of said truncated walls of said extension terminating at different distances from said axis to provide a serpentine path for said cable adjacent said extension;
• and
• a clamp member adapted to be removably mounted to said extension of said housing and defining a plurality of truncated walls, at least two of said truncated walls of said clamp member aligning with associated ones of said truncated walls of said extension when said clamp member is assembled to said extension, and each truncated wall of said clamp member defining a free end adapted to receive and compress said cable in cooperation with an associated truncated wall of said extension when said clamp member is mounted to said extension in a first axial direction and said cable is connected to said core, and characterized in that said clamp is attachable to said extension in said first axial direction, or a second, reverse axial direction, said opposing pairs of truncated walls defining three spaced relatively larger first apertures for receiving and compressing a cable of relatively larger size when said clamp is assembled to said extension in said first axial direction, said opposing pairs of truncated walls forcing a cable of larger diameter into a serpentine path for strain relief when said clamp is assembled to said extension in said first axial direction, said opposing pairs of truncated walls defining at least two spaced apertures of smaller size than said first apertures for receiving and compressing a cable of relatively smaller diameter when said clamp is assembled to said housing extension in a second, reverse axial direction.
