Abstract
An electric connector connectable to a mating electric connector includes and inner part, an outer part and a self-locking mechanism. The inner part is adapted to be connected to an electrical conductor. The outer part is adapted to connect to the mating electric connector. The inner and outer parts are connected coaxially and rotatably to one another. The self-locking mechanism selectively blocks rotation of one of the inner or outer parts with respect to the other one of the inner or outer parts in a first circumferential direction, and permits rotation of one of the inner or outer parts with respect to the other one of the inner or outer parts in a second circumferential direction opposite the first circumferential direction.
