damage can occur whenever the device body rather than the nut alone is being
turned.
If the connection is between sexed connectors, pull the connectors straight apart and
be especially careful not to twist the body of any device as you do so. Twisting the
connection can damage the connector by damaging the center conductors or the
interior component parts to which the connectors themselves are attached. It can
also scrape the plating from the male contact pin or even (in rare instances) unscrew
the male or female contact pin slightly from its interior mounting, bringing it out of
specification (this can also occur if the female contact fingers are unusually tight).
