Electrical connectors including a cable clamp (e.g., having a first clamp portion, a second clamp portion, and a hinge coupled to the first and second clamp portions such that the first and second clamp portions are movable relative to each other between an open position and a closed position in which the first and second clamp portions define a cable passageway), and a piercing conductor configured to place a fixture wire into electrical communication with an electrical cable disposed within the cable passageway. In at least some of these electrical connectors, a longitudinal axis of the cable passageway is substantially aligned with a longitudinal axis of the cable clamp when the first and second clamp portions are in the closed position. In at least some of these electrical connectors, at least one of the clamp portions comprises a flexible sidewall that at least partially defines the cable passageway.

대표청구항 ▼

1. An electrical connector comprising: a cable clamp comprising: a first clamp portion;a second clamp portion;a hinge coupled to the first and second clamp portions such that first and second clamp portions are movable relative to each other in a plane between an open position and a closed position in which the first and second clamp portions define a cable passageway extending through the cable clamp; anda fixture wire passageway having a longitudinal axis that is non-parallel to the plane;where a longitudinal axis of the cable passageway is substantially aligned with a longitudinal axis of the cable clamp when the first and second clamp portions are in the closed position; anda piercing conductor coupled to the cable clamp and configured to place a fixture wire disposed within the fixture wire passageway into electrical communication with an electrical cable disposed within the cable passageway when the first and second clamp portions are in the closed position;where the cable clamp comprises a latch configured to releasable secure the first and second clamp portions in the closed position;where the cable passageway extends through the latch. 2. The electrical connector of claim 1, where at least one of the first and second clamp portions comprises a flexible sidewall that at least partially defines the cable passageway. 3. An electrical connector comprising: a cable clamp comprising: a first clamp portion;a second clamp portion;a hinge coupled to the first and second clamp portions such that first and second clamp portions are movable relative to each other between an open position and a closed position in which the first and second clamp portions define a cable passageway; anda fixture wire passageway having a longitudinal axis that is non-parallel to a longitudinal axis of the cable passageway;where at least one of the first and second clamp portions comprises a flexible sidewall that at least partially defines the cable passageway; anda piercing conductor coupled to the cable clamp and configured to place a fixture wire disposed within the fixture wire passageway into electrical communication with an electrical cable disposed within the cable passageway when the first and second clamp portions are in the closed position;where the cable passageway extends through the cable clamp;where the first and second clamp portions are movable relative to each other in a plane between the open position and the closed position;where the longitudinal axis of the fixture wire passageway is non-parallel to the plane; andwhere the flexible sidewall is defined, at least in part, by a portion that: extends from the at least one of the first and second clamp portions in a first direction that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cable passageway; andincreases in a thickness along the first direction. 4.

The electrical connector of claim 19, further comprising a fixture wire disposed in the fixture wire passageway. 21. The electrical connector of claim 19, wherein the fixture wire passageway is a first fixture wire passageway and the circumference of the first fixture wire passageway is defined by the first clamp portion, the cable clamp further comprising: a second fixture wire passageway having a longitudinal axis that is non-parallel to a longitudinal axis of the cable passageway. 22. The electrical connector of claim 21, where a circumference of the second fixture wire passageway is defined entirely by the second clamp portion. 23.
