ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention relates to an improved hermaphroditic connector assembly for use with an airline. Hermaphroditic connectors employ two identically sized and shaped connectors, each secured to a respective RF or high frequency cable or airline usually by means of a respective con- nector body threaded onto the respective airline. It is important to ensure proper axial alignment of the semi-rigid or non-rotatable airlines including the conductors and contacts so that their connecting end faces meet axially along the desired plane. The present invention provides an improved hermophroditic RF connector assembly used on an airline and employing a spring biased registration ring having axially extending teeth with cam surfaces for engagement between teeth on a mating regis- tration ring of another airline connector assembly in response to rela- tive rotation between the rings to align the mating contact surfaces of two mating airlines, A coupling nut on one connector assembly is threaded over the registration ring of the other connector assembly to secure the assemblies and airlines to each other and the coupling nut of one assembly may also be partially threaded over the registration ring of the respective assembly and then used to retract the respective ring against the spring bias to provide facile means to the contact surfaces. A retaining nut on each assembly frictionally engaged with the respective connector body of the assembly enables the coupling nut to be threaded without requiring a special effort to hold the connector body from becoming loose.
