the stud 25 contacts the cable jacket the threaded stud 25 provides a connection point for a flexible ground conductor the stud 25 also serves as an anchor for clamping the outer part 30 to the inner part 20 the inner part 20 flares from the tip 22 to define a conductor receiving trough 23 the flared portion 26 of the inner part 20 has an arcuate or semi circular configuration when viewed in section as best illustrated in fig7 and 9 this arcuate configuration generally matches the sectional shape of a service cable and enhances the longitudinal rigidity of the inner part 20 the matched sectional configuration ensures maximum surface to surface contact between the cable shield and the outside surface of the flared portion 26 of the inner part 20 the flared portion 26 inside and outside surfaces as well as the edges 24 are substantially smooth the edges 24 meet at an acute angle to define the insertion point 22 this configuration ensures ease of insertion and minimizes the chances that the inner part 20 will catch or crumple the cable shield during insertion the connector outer part 30 is configured to grip the jacket of the service cable and force the metallic shield into contact with the outside surface of the flared portion 26 of the inner part 20 the outer part 30 is generally channel shaped in cross section along most of its length as best illustrated in fig7 and 10 the term.
