I bought this MTH B unit to put in front of 5 20" Weaver aluminum passenger cars and I was wondering if the 1/3 thickness coupler pictured will stay in place without the tether connected?

What picture? It should. G
Sorry about that. Here is a pic.
Is is pictured on the right side of the loco(to the right of 2802). I think MTH put these on some of their B units to provide easier access to plug the male tether connection in. I am going to be pulling a fair amount of cars behind this and hope I don't get a runaway. Is there an MTH parts list anywhere for 20-2596-3 that I would be able to order a coupler like the one on the other end?
Go to the this link for the Pennsy 20-20398-3 E-8 B unit and zoom and hover over the end with the skinny coupler to get a better view.

I run my SF E6 ABA with the small couplers to the B unit pulling 11 SF passenger cars without any coupler issues. I had derailment of the B unit and power interruptions to the trailing A after the tether in the B unit was replaced. Louie (Engine House Hobbies) extended it 1/8 of an inch and I have not had any subsequent issues running up to 60 smph with a GG1 East Wind passenger consist on the same track.
