ABSTRACT:
A self-locking connector in which balls carried by a connector shell are spring biased toward a locking ring which is rotatable with the coupling nut of the connector. The ring is formed with a circular array of detent recesses with which the balls engage when the coupling nut is rotated. The balls and recesses are arranged so that only one ball engages a recess at any instant so that there are a large number of locking positions for the coupling nut.
