A medium-or high-voltage circuit breaker including a first electric arcing contact and a second electric arcing contact that are axially movable relative to each other between an open position, where the arcing contacts are separated, and a closed position, where the arcing contacts are in contact. The circuit breaker includes an auxiliary nozzle made of a fluorocarbon polymer or of polyethylene, polyamide, polyimide, polyketone, polyacetal, polysulfone, polysulfur, which is connected to a support member via a threaded connection. To prevent loosening caused by operational vibrations or shockwaves during arcing events, the threaded connection is equipped with an anti-loosening mechanism. Various embodiments of the anti-loosening means are disclosed. These mechanisms ensure that the auxiliary nozzle remains securely attached to the support member in a screw-in position, while allowing for easy assembly.
