ABSTRACT:
A body, such as a connector for use in cable assemblies, includes a staking pin or retaining body inserted and secured within an aperture extending from a first surface to a second surface of the body. A portion of the pin extends through the aperture and beyond one of the surfaces (which provides a pin function for a desire application). A plurality of projections or grooves positioned along the external surface of the staking pin are substantially flush with a surface of the aperture to retain its position in the body. The staking pin includes a cavity, a portion of which preferably has a chamfered surface to aid in disposing an object, such as a staking pin ball, within the cavity. The cavity is capable of radially expanding when the staking pin ball, having an outer dimension greater than an inner dimension the cavity, is inserted within the cavity of the pin.
