  • and a coaxial connector ring which is mounted on said plug, the connector ring, made of a resilient material, comprising a plurality of short protrusions about the circumference of the ring which prevents the normal rotational capability of the outer shell of the plug, and a plurality of long protrusions about the circumference of the ring which, upon mating the combination to a BNC jack with lock pins, said protrusions will ride over corresponding lock pins of the jack that lie in conjunction and latch the connector plug in place;

    thus converting the normal rotational engagement of plug and jack to a resilient latch engagement.
