<p>@ A spring member (40) comprising a plate (42) and a U-shaped leaf portion (44) is carried on the inner wall of a coupling nut (30), the leaf portion including a deflectable leaf portion (45) including a detent (46) and a foot portion (43), the wall having a helical groove (36) for captivating a pin (18) extending from a receptacle shell (12) and an annular rib (60) for seating the spring member adjacent the terminus (35) of the groove, the receptacle being drawn into metal-to-metal contact with a plug shell (20) by coupling rotation of the coupling nut whereupon the detent captivates the pin and locks the coupling nut from uncoupling rotation relative to the plug shell.</p> |
