Wiring holding device in an electrical connector.

摘要

A wire holding device (5) for locating wires in an electrical connector (3), comprising at least one passageway (25) into which a connection wire (43) to be held can be moved essentially normally of its length through an outwardly enlarging entrance slot (33) toward a closed end (39) of the passageway (25). A first barb (35) adapted to be resiliently urged aside by a wire (43) upon the introduction thereof extends from a sidewall of the passageway adjacent the entrance slot. A second barb (37) extends from the sidewall opposite the first barb (35) and is adapted to be resiliently urged aside by the wire (43) upon the introduction thereof, the free end of the second barb (37), together with the closed end (39) of the passageway partitioning off a partial passageway.
