Abstract:
1. A coaxial connector for coupling a coaxial cable with a connection, comprising: a connector body and an interface or engagement end coupled to the connector body; a coupling nut coaxial with the interface and an inner coupling sleeve; the inner coupling sleeve having threads for coupling the interface with the connection; and an inner first interlock surface integral with an internal diameter surface of the coupling nut and an outward second interlock surface integral with an outer diameter surface of the inner coupling sleeve; the first interlock surface and the second interlock surface each having a plurality of complementary protrusions; the complementary protrusions of the first interlock surface and the second interlock surface interact whereby the coupling nut is coupled to the inner coupling sleeve during rotation of the coupling nut via application of a torque below a threshold level; at least one of the complementary protrusions deflecting upon application of the torque at or above the threshold level to decouple the connector body from the inner coupling sleeve.
