ABSTRACT:
The invention is an electrical connector assembly characterized by a plurality of resiliently deflectable fingers (11) which extend between a shoulder 12 in the coupling ring and a shoulder 22 of the housing 20 to provide a bias between the coupling ring 10 and the housing 20 when the coupling ring 10 is completely threaded onto another connector housing. The fingers 11 may be integrally molded into either the coupling ring or the housing shoulder eliminating the need for an extra biasing member. The bias increases the force of friction on the threads in the coupling ring when it is fully mated to retard unwanted rotation, i.e., uncoupling.
