ABSTRACT:
An anti-decoupling device for use in preventing undesired rotation of a spin coupling of, for example, a two-part electrical connector, is disclosed. The anti-decoupling device can form part of a new connector, or can be used to retrofit existing connectors without having to modify the connector. In some embodiments, the anti-decoupling device comprises a base and two prongs that extend in a generally axial direction relative to the base. Blades that depend from the prongs extend into channels within the knurled side-edge of the spin coupling. The blades prevent inadvertent rotation of the spin coupling.
