ABSTRACT:
According to the present invention there is provided a snap in locking cable connector with a cylindrical housing having an entry end aperture and an exit end aperture. The entry end aperture can accept the snap-in spring steel adapter of U.S. Pat. No. 6,080,933 as well as the exit end peripheral spring steel locking ring described in this patent to provide a connector that allows rapid and simplified installation of armored cable into a junction or circuit box. The cylindrical housing includes an annular groove or ridge about the inner periphery thereof in the area of the entry end for retention of the spring steel adapter. An electrical cable connector of this type that relies upon frictional or interference fit for retention of the spring steel adapter is also described. Retention of the spring steel adapter with a screw, rivet or similar fastener is also described.
