ABSTRACT:
A connector retaining apparatus for retaining an insulator in the bore of a connector shell includes an insulator with an annular flange defining a rear facing shoulder, a connector shell having an interior cylindrical surface with an annular groove therein to define a front facing retention shoulder, and an annular retaining ring around the insulator. The retaining ring has a radial portion which abuts against the rear facing shoulder of the insulator annular flange and a frusto-conical portion with a retention edge which abuts against the front facing retaining shoulder of the connector shell groove in its retaining position to prevent the insulator from being withdrawn rearwardly from the connector shell bore. A cylindrical insertion tool is utilized to press the retention ring through an annular space between the insulator's outside surface and the connector shell's inside surface into its retaining position.
