ABSTRACT:
A deformable plastic strip (44') is longitudinally slotted (60) along one edge to define a plurality of laterally separated longitudinal columns (62), cut, and then rolled into a tubular sleeve to form a retention member (44) which is configured to be coaxially driven into an annular passageway (72) formed between an insert (24) and a connector shell (10), engagement of the slotted end portion with an axial shell face (16) causing the columns to axially collapse in accordion like fashion and radially wedge themselves into the passageway whereby to interferencingly retain the insert in the shell.
