Claim:
An electrical connector assembly for securing an electrical cable to an electrical box comprising: a connector body having an inlet end portion and an outlet end portion and a bore therebetween; an insulator retained within a receptacle at the outlet end portion of said connector body, said insulator including a grooved portion which engages a tongue portion of the connector body, wherein the insulator is side-loaded into the receptacle in a direction generally perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the connector body and wherein upon insertion of the insulator into the receptacle the tongue portion of the connector body prevents the insulator from displacement in a direction along the longitudinal axis of the connector body; and a spring clip secured by a fastener to said connector body, said spring clip defining a pair of free ends, with a first spring end extending away from the fastener toward the insulator, and with said first spring end engaging an inner surface of the electrical box to retain the connector body to the electrical box, and with a second spring end either being coupled directly to the connector body or extending into the connector body at the inlet end portion with said second spring end retaining the cable within the connector body.
