A jackscrew system preventing undesired problems during mating and de-mating of miniature electrical connectors. The jackscrew includes a thrust shoulder that separates the jackscrew threads from the remainder of the shaft. A “C-shaped” retaining ring is closed onto a diameter of the jackscrew shaft adjacent shoulder and the head of the jackscrew. A counter-bore is provided in the plug connector body into which the crimp ring enters when under the load of de-mating the connector from the receptacle. The counter-bore acts to restrict the crimp ring from opening under mating and de-mate forces when the thrust shoulder applies such forces against the crimp ring and thereby against the plug body, and thus assures retention of the crimp ring under mating and de-mating operating conditions.
