Abstract:
An RF connector includes a shell that forms a cavity with the shell including external threads having a recessed portion therein which does not extend into the cavity so as not to cause a disruption in a signal transmitted through the connector. A locking slug is secured within the recessed portion for example by using an adhesive. The locking slug increases friction between the external threads and complementary internal threads of an interface plug to prevent the RF connector from loosening from the interface plug.
