ABSTRACT:
A coupling nut retention apparatus 10 for an electrical connector comprises a generally cylindrical coupling nut 20 having an aperature 24 therein for telescopically receiving a cylindrical housing 40 and an annular flange 30 depending therefrom. The housing 40 has a hole 50 in the front end 46 thereof for receiving a retaining ball 80. An insulator 60 having a rear annular flange 66 depending therefrom is telescopically received by an aperature 44 in the cylindrical housing 40 and has an axial keyway 74 therein that is engaged by said retaining ball 80. The annular flanges, 30 and 66 respectively, of the coupling nut 20 and the insulator 60 abut the retaining ball 80 to prohibit forward motion of said coupling nut 20.
