Zusammenfassung:An electrical connector (110) including a mounting flange (112) defining a mounting hole (116) extending therethrough that is configured to receive a threaded fastener and a deformable crush rib (118) extending from the mount flange (112) and surrounding the mounting hole (116) is presented herein. A method (200) of assembling an electrical connector (110) to a panel including the steps of inserting (210) a fastener within a mounting hole (116) of a mounting flange (112) defining the mounting hole (116) extending therethrough and a crush rib (118) surrounding the mounting hole (116), applying (212) a clamping force to the mounting flange (112) via the fastener, and deforming (214) the crush rib (118) via the clamping force applied by the fastener such that the deformed crush rib (118) at least partially fills a gap between an inner wall (122) of the mounting hole (116) and the fastener is also presented herein.
