Abstract
An adapter assembly for the connection of coaxial cables in which an adapter body having a rear side is formed with at least one pass-through opening, and at least two hook-shaped catch fingers projecting from the rear side adjacent the opening and whose hooks open toward one another. A respective socket is received in the opening and formed with a polygonal limiting flange resting against the rear side and retained by a snap-action grip of the catch fingers over the flange so that the hooks engage a rear side of the flange, the hook-shaped catch fingers having a diametrical spacing from one another across the opening substantially equal to a spacing across the flange between opposite sides thereof. Torsion force takeup for coupling or decoupling with the socket is ensured by a pair of bars or projections from the rear side which engage the preferably hexagonal flange and are offset from the fingers.
