A coaxial cable connector for mating with an interface port defining an external threaded working surface, comprising: - a conductive component configured to contact a surface of the port ; - a connector body attached to the conductive component ; and - a coupling member including - a body defined by an inner surface and an outer surface between a first end and a second end ; and - at least one resilient contact extending a distance from the inner surface of the body radially inward, the at least one resilient contact is biased in a direction to allow the threads of the port to push the contacts outward during forward axial movement of the coupling member as the coupling member is advanced onto the port but which come to rest with the tips of the contacts lodged securely against the working surface of the port threads preventing the release of the connector if pulled in an opposite axial direction, being thus configured to disengage the working surface in response to rotational movement of the body , characterized in that the body includes at least one first resilient contact extending a distance from the inner surface of the body radially inward, the at least one first resilient contact positioned proximate the second end of the body and configured to resiliently contact the conductive component so as to maintain physical and electrical contact between the conductive component and the coupling member , wherein the coupling member is configured to freely rotate about at least the conductive member ; and wherein said at least one resilient contact is at least one second resilient contact . - a conductive component configured to contact a surface of the port ; - a connector body attached to the conductive component ; and - a coupling member including - a body defined by an inner surface and an outer surface between a first end and a second end ; and - at least one resilient contact extending a distance from the inner surface of the body radially inward, the at least one resilient contact is biased in a direction to allow the threads of the port to push the contacts outward during forward axial movement of the coupling member as the coupling member is advanced onto the port but which come to rest with the tips of the contacts lodged securely against the working surface of the port threads preventing the release of the connector if pulled in an opposite axial direction, being thus configured to disengage the working surface in response to rotational movement of the body , - a body defined by an inner surface and an outer surface between a first end and a second end ; and - at least one resilient contact extending a distance from the inner surface of the body radially inward, the at least one resilient contact is biased in a direction to allow the threads of the port to push the contacts outward during forward axial movement of the coupling member as the coupling member is advanced onto the port but which come to rest with the tips of the contacts lodged securely against the working surface of the port threads preventing the release of the connector if pulled in an opposite axial direction, being thus configured to disengage the working surface in response to rotational movement of the body , <EOS>
