A device for gripping and locating an elongate member (10) in a housing (1), comprises a one-piece plate-like component of plastics material having a pair of opposed outer edges (7a), the housing being recessed to accommodate said opposed outer edges. The plate-like component has wall parts (4) defining therebetween a central blind opening leading to first and second recesses (12) which open on each side thereof towards said opposed outer edges. Respective third and fourth bounded openings (13) are also formed between said wall parts (4) and the adjacent opposed outer edges (7a), the first and second recesses (12) being designed to deform more readily in the face of outward pressure on the wall parts (4) caused by insertion of the elongate member (10) into the central opening than the deformation of the third and fourth bounded openings (13) caused by said insertion. The device can grip electrical cables or flexible cards. <IMAGE> |
