ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly in which the electrical connectors are capable of being quickly and easily coupled and decoupled with mechanism for preventing accidental decoupling of the connector through vibration. The coupling and decoupling is accomplished by a coupling nut mounted to one electrical connector, with the coupling nut having a screw thread adapted to receive a screw thread on a second connector. The connector assembly is adapted to remain coupled to said first housing by a spring mounted to the coupling nut and engaging ratchet teeth carried on an edge of the housing. The ratchet teeth are more steeply angled on the leading edge engaged during decoupling and more gradually angled on the leading edge during coupling, allowing for an ease in coupling and a greater resistance to decoupling.
