Abstract
An RF connector comprises a coupling nut for locking the connector to a mating connector and a locking ring. When tightening the coupling nut, it pushes on the locking ring, which again pushes on a protrusion of the connector, moving the connector into a mating connector. When the coupling nut is tightened, the locking ring acts as a stop to limit the movement coupling nut leaving a gap between the connector and the mating connector. Due to this gap, the connector may be rotated in a locked state.
