ABSTRACT:
This invention is an electrical connector assembly that prevents unwanted decoupling when this connector assembly is connected to another connector assembly. The first connector assembly is characterized by at least one resiliently deflectable and rearwardly extending projection 31 that mates with a notch 21 in the coupling ring 20 to prevent rotation of the coupling ring when it is connected to the second connector housing. An outer ring 10 is used to unlock the coupling ring and allow rotation when the coupling ring 10 is pushed forward against the coupling ring 20 and a forward projection 11 on the outer ring 10 enters the notch 21 in the coupling ring 20 and forcing the housing projection 31 out of the notch so that when the outer ring 10 is rotated the coupling ring 20 will also rotate.
