Abstract
A locking connector for an antenna cable includes a female socket member and a male member axially insertable into the socket member. A catch is formed on a radially outwardly extending collar of the socket member. A flexible latching finger is secured to the male member and has a hook at the free end. The hook is adapted to cam over and lockingly engage the catch when the male member is inserted axially into the socket member. A finger stop limits radially outward flexing of the finger away from the catch to prevent overstressing of the finger.
