A coupling member for a connector component that includes an inner sleeve (110) configured to surround a shell (10) and that sleeve (110) is rotatable with respect to the shell (10) in a tightening direction to mate with the mating component and a release direction opposite the tightening direction. The inner sleeve (110) has an interface portion (310) and an engagement member (330). A spring member (200) is wrapped around the shell (10) adjacent the inner sleeve (110). The spring member (200) has a first tab end that engages the engagement member (330). When the inner sleeve (110) is rotated with respect to the shell (10) in the tightening direction, the inner sleeve (110) pushes the first tab of the spring member (200), thereby loosening the spring member (200) around the shell (10) allowing the inner sleeve (110) to rotate in the tightening direction to engage the mating connector component. The first tab end of the spring member (200) prevents the inner sleeve (110) from rotating in the release direction. |
