ABSTRACT:
A plurality of longitudinally housed looped spring members (340) are pivotally supported by a wire (350) circumposed about a plurality of ratchet teeth (150) defining a contiguous succession of longitudinal peaks and valleys (154, 152) for interengagement, the spring members including a straight end portion (342) advanced around the peaks and valleys and a curved end portion (344) normally out of engagement with the ratchet teeth, the wire being supported in an annular groove (331) of a coupling nut (300) rotatably mounted to one shell (100) of an electrical connector assembly comprising a pair of shells (100, 200), the forward end face (222) of the second shell being drawn against the curved end portion (344) to drive the straight end portion (342) downwardly into the ratchet teeth when mating engagement has been achieved, the bias of the straight end portions (342) resisting rotation of the coupling nut.
