A connector assembly ( 100 ) provides improved locking and retention through the use of a cylindrical body ( 102 ) having locking arms ( 104 ) extending therefrom and a malleable collar ( 106 ) that includes an integrally molded interior lip ( 114 ) and exterior bumps ( 116 ). The malleable collar ( 106 ) is slid over a portion of the cylindrical body ( 102 ) such that the bumps ( 116 ) align with the locking arms ( 104 ). Upon insertion of the connector ( 100 ) into a housing receptacle, the locking arms ( 104 ) compress the bumps ( 116 ) thereby providing resistance to aid with retention while the interior lip ( 114 ) abuts the cylindrical body ( 102 ) which facilitates sealing the receptacle.
