ABSTRACT:
The inner end surface of the outer end portion of an electrical connector coupling ring has a set of teeth extending circumferentially about the coupling ring. A metal ring has a bore sufficient to enable it being received onto the connector plug and an outer diameter sufficient to enable receipt within the coupling ring and allow the coupling ring to rotate thereabout. One or more keyways on the decoupling ring are interlocked with keys on the connector plug maintaining the antidecoupling ring and plug in fixed relationship to one another, irrespective of movement of the coupling ring. At least one elongated leaf spring has an end formed into a detent that rides along and between the coupling ring teeth. The other spring end is rotatably located on a pivot pin mounted to the circumferential periphery of the anti-decoupling ring.
