ABSTRACT:
A dielectric insert of an electrical connector is retained within a metal shell by a plurality of latching ledges formed integrally with said insert member spaced about the periphery of the outer surface thereof and facing the trailing end during insertion into the shell member, to latchingly engage with corresponding stop surfaces defined along inside surfaces of the metal shell facing the direction opposite from the latching ledges. A lip about the periphery of the trailing end of the insert member engages the leading edge of the shell to define a second stop means, preventing insert movement in both axial directions. The insert is dimensioned for the latching projections defining the latching ledges to be compressed during insertion by bearing against the inside surfaces of the shell member until fully inserted into the shell cavity.
