Claim:
A first coaxial cable connector, comprising: a coupling nut having a first end portion, a second end portion, and an inner surface defining a bore for receiving a corresponding second coaxial cable connector; a conductive insert having an annular flange positioned at least partially in the bore; and a washer positioned between the second end portion of the coupling nut and the annular flange, wherein at least a portion of the washer is configured to press against at least one of the annular flange and the second end portion of the coupling nut to restrict rotation of the coupling nut with respect to the conductive insert, wherein at least one of the second end portion of the coupling nut and the annular flange includes an angled surface facing the washer, and wherein the angled surface is configured to drive the washer to expand radially outward toward the coupling nut when the conductive insert presses against the corresponding second coaxial cable connector.
