Abstract
An electrical connector assembly having a plastic coupling nut 30 and housing 20 that includes an axially extending projection 26 that is mateable with a slot 35 when the coupling nut is threaded to the housing. This arrangement provides pressure on the fully mated threads that restricts uncoupling of the threads when subject to vibration. It also provides visual indication as to whether or not the coupling nut is completely threaded upon the housing.
