A device for locating or gripping an elongated member, for example an insulated electrical conductor or cable, includes a pair of jaws having first and second opposed ends and made at least partly of resilient plastics material and a camming means into which the pair of jaws is insertable, with said first end first, for the purpose of engaging two opposite, outwardly-facing surfaces of the pair of jaws with a pair of opposed, inwardly-facing surfaces of the camming means so that the jaws are urged towards one another in order to locate or grip an elongated member between confronting faces of the two jaws. To enable the device to locate or grip elongated members having a wide range of cross-sectional areas, the jaws and/or the camming means are so shaped that, when the pair of jaws is fully inserted into the camming means with no elongate member between said confronting faces, the urging together of the jaws takes place by engagement between a limited area of one of said outwardly-facing surfaces of the pair of jaws and the adjacent inwardly-facing surface of the camming means, there being a gap between these two surfaces in a region extending from said second end of the pair of jaws towards said first end thereof.
