Snap in cable connector

A method for fixing the location of a locking cable connector, configured for use with a spring steel adaptor, with respect to an electrical junction box, the locking cable connector having a first piece and a second piece that snap together to connect the locking cable connector for armored or metal clad electrical conductors to an aperture in the electrical junction box, said method comprising:

• providing said first piece with a die cast member including an enlarged section separating the leading end from the trailing end and having a smooth outer central section located at the leading end having a diameter that may accommodate a spring steel adaptor and greater outer diameters to hold said spring steel adaptor in place on said leading end at said central section;
• providing said second piece with a generally cylindrical spring steel locking ring having a first set of tangs for resisting withdrawal and having a second set of tangs oppositely directed to receive the armored cable;
• inserting said locking ring into a cylindrical opening in the trailing end of said die cast member;
• restricting withdrawal motion of said locking ring from said die cast member;
• receiving an armored or metal clad cable in said locking ring;
• and
• preventing removal of said armored or metal cable in a reverse direction in said locking ring.
