Electrical connector

A liquid-tight connector comprising:

• a tubular body having a trailing end portion and
• a leading end portion having a leading edge;
• a flange separating said trailing end portion from said leading end portion;
• at least one depression on said leading end portion;
• a removable annular-shaped snap ring surrounding said leading end portion, said snap ring having a leading end and a trailing end;
• a plurality of grounding tangs extending outwardly and trailingly at said trailing end of said snap ring;
• at least one locking tab extending from said snap ring into said at least one depression to secure said snap ring to said leading end portion;
• a plurality of snap locking tangs extending outwardly from said snap ring to resist said connector being pulled from a panel when connected thereto;
• a sealing ring disposed between said trailing end of said snap ring and a leading face of said flange with said sealing ring held in place by said plurality of grounding tangs;
• said trailing end portion of said tubular body including a shoulder adjacent said flange;
• a ferrule extending from a trailing wall of said flange and having a trailing end;
• said shoulder having a larger diameter than said ferrule;
• said shoulder further including threads on its outer periphery;
• a diameter of said ferrule tapering from a smaller diameter at said trailing end of said ferrule to a larger diameter adjacent said shoulder;
• a tubular retainer body having an inner diameter slightly larger than a nominal sized conduit, it will be used in conjunction with;
• said retainer body further including inward and forward extending conduit tangs;
• a tubular cover member securing said retainer body to said shoulder, said cover member biasing said conduit tangs inwardly;
• and a channel defined by a space between said ferrule and said retainer body, said channel capable of accepting a nominal sized conduit in such a manner that said conduit is held tightly therein and prevented from withdrawal by said conduit tangs.
