ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly of separable first and second shells (100, 200) and a coupling nut (300) having a radial flange (340) rotatably mounted about first shell (100) and rearwardly of an annular shoulder (140) thereof with a coil spring (500) and an annular ring (400) mounted for sliding disposed between flange (340) and shoulder (140) for resisting unwanted rotation. Annular shoulder (140) and annular ring (400) have frusto-conical tapered faces (150, 420) to define therebetween a Vee-shaped vise for longitudinally squeezing the coil spring (500) and camming the spring radially outwardly from snug contacting fitment with the shell (100) and against an inner wall (322) of the coupling nut whereby frictional contact spring (500) against itself and portions of the coupling nut (300) resist rotation.
