ELECTRICAL ASSEMBLY HAVING A THREADED COUPLING NUT AND RETAINING RING

摘要

An electrical assembly (10) includes a connector body (30) extending along a body axis (40) between a mating end (32) and a cable end (34). The connector body has a body groove (52) at the mating end having a deep groove section (82) and a shallow groove section (84). A retaining ring (50) is received in the body groove that is compressible between a relaxed state and a compressed state. The retaining ring is able to be compressed to the compressed state when aligned with the deep groove section and is blocked from being compressed to the compressed state when aligned with the shallow groove section. A coupling nut (36) is rotatable about the mating end of the connector body and is configured to be coupled to a receiving connector (14). The coupling nut has a coupling nut groove (70) receiving the retaining ring when the retaining ring is in the relaxed state.
