Abstract

A backshell adapter assembly includes an adapter body, a coupling nut and a one-piece shuttle mechanism. The one-piece shuttle mechanism is formed as a tubular member and is adapted to be received in a retaining groove on the adapter body. The one piece shuttle mechanism includes a thrust bushing and one or more concentrically formed spring arms that are adapted to provide axial loading in the direction of an electrical connector shell when the basketball adapter assembly is assembled to an electrical connector.
