ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly for securing an electrical conductor to an electric box which includes a metallic connector body having an inlet end portion and an outlet end portion with a frustro-conical snap fit retainer ring circumscribing the outlet end portion of the connector body. The frustro-conical, snap fit, retainer ring is formed from an elongated blank of spring steel material having integrally blanked out of the plane thereof a series of holding tangs bent outwardly from the plane of the ring with one or more grounding tangs disposed in co-planar relationship relative to the surface of the frustro-conical ring, whereby the outlet end of the connector assembly can be readily inserted through a knock-out hole of an electric box for securely locking the connector assembly to an electric box and insuring a positive electrical grounding effect.
