  • Electrical connector having a threaded ring and means for retaining it in locked condition
    Patent number: 5399096
    Abstract: The electrical connector is connectable to a matching connector and has a body for receiving contacts that carries a threaded rotary locking nut for cooperation with a threaded portion of the matching connector. The nut is fast with internal ratchet teeth having edges each separating a face with a lower slope from a face with a steeper slope relative to a circumferential direction. The body of the connector is non-rotatably connected to a one-piece ring having teeth cooperating with notches formed by the ratchet teeth to establish a ratchet effect that opposes rotation of the ring in an unscrewing direction in which the teeth abut the steeper faces.
