A fitting that provides snap-in engagement of EMT to a panel. The fitting includes a hollow, tubular, electrically conductive electrical connector including a fastening arrangement on the leading end to allow snap-in engagement to a panel and a resilient, electrically conductive, cylindrical-shaped
A fitting that provides snap-in engagement of EMT to a panel. The fitting includes a hollow, tubular, electrically conductive electrical connector including a fastening arrangement on the leading end to allow snap-in engagement to a panel and a resilient, electrically conductive, cylindrical-shaped split ring within the trailing end to allow snap-in engagement of EMT. A plurality of locking tangs on the split ring are lanced longitudinally and bent inwardly to a smaller diameter than the outer diameter of EMT that the fitting will be used in conjunction with. Arcuate edges included on the leading ends of the locking tangs dig into the outer surface of the EMT thereby holding it fast to the trailing end of connector. The large contact area between the locking tangs and the EMT provide a large amount of surface contact between the locking tangs and the EMT, thereby improving continuity and lowering the millivolt drop. The fastening arrangement on the leading end of the fitting is typically a split ring affixed to the nose of the connector.
