Abstract
A coupling ring 10 for connecting together two halves of an electrical connector assembly includes means integral with the coupling ring for mounting the coupling ring 10 to a connector housing 20. The integral mounting means includes a plurality of resiliently deflectable fingers 11, each having an annular shoulder 12 thereon that mates with a groove 21 in the connector housing so that the coupling ring 10 may be rotatably mounted to a housing 20 of an electrical connector. A skirt 14, integral with the coupling ring 10 protects the fingers 11.
