Swedish term
mothållsmutter
Swedish to English
Tech/Engineering
Electronics / Elect Eng
Probably not strictly an exclusively "Electronics/Elect Eng" term, but the text is electronics related. In this case, it is a part/feature of a chassis connector. Not much more context as it's just a list of items. Grateful; for any help.

locking nut / locknut
I believe this is the term you want for UK English (also written lock nut or locknut, all equally common on Google). It can be a second nut which holds the first one in place, or more typically these days a single special nut with a plastic liner, either way the idea is to stop the tightened nut from loosening under vibration etc.
Example sentence:
A locknut (lock nut or locking nut) is a nut that is used to stop some other nut or similar component from working loose for example at a certain frequency of vibrations.
