ABSTRACT:
A connector is provided which includes a screw-connected two-peice housing (22, FIG. 2) that surrounds an insulator-holding sheet metal shell (20), which resists loosening of the screws that hold the housing parts in ground connection with the shell. Each side of the insulator has three protuberances (81-83) which press outwardly against a corresponding side (76) of the shell, and each housing part has a pair of protuberances (94, 95) that press inwardly against a corresponding side of the shell. The protuberances on the insulator and housing parts are spaced to deflect each side of the wall into a largely sinusoidal shape (74 in FIG. 6), so the deflected shell sides act like leaf springs that press the housing parts apart to prevent screw loosening and assure good grounding connection between the shell and housing.
