Abstract
An electrical connector is disclosed with means for producing a tactile signal when the connector members (10,12) are in a fully mated condition. An indicator (60) is movably mounted on the coupling nut (14) and is engageable by the opposed connector member (10) when the members are in a fully mated condition. An indicator element (60) is disposed in a passage (64) in the wall of the coupling nut (14) and a cam shaped surface (66) on the indicator element engages the starting end (72) of the thread (26) of the opposed member which causes it to move abruptly, i.e. 'pop out' to a signal position when the full mate condition is reached.
