发明名称 COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR HAVING AN OUTER CONDUCTOR ENGAGER
摘要 A connector for a coaxial cable includes a coupler configured to engage another coaxial cable connector. The connector further includes a body disposed at least partially within the coupler. The connector further includes an outer conductor engager made of a conductive material disposed within the body and the coupler. The connector further includes a biasing element on an interior of the body. During a coupling of the connector to the coaxial cable: a connector end of the outer conductor engager moves axially relative to the body, the outer conductor engager is compressed by the biasing element, and an interior of the outer conductor engager is inwardly compressed against an outer conductor of the coaxial cable.

主权项 1. A cable connector, comprising: an outer conductor engager configured to receive an end of a coaxial cable, the outer conductor engager having a plurality of resilient fingers configured to be in electrical communication with an outer peripheral surface of an outer conductor of the received coaxial cable, each resilient finger having a first outward-facing barb and an outward-facing tapered surface; a body including an annular ring coaxially aligned with the outer conductor engager along an axis, the annular ring being configured to circumscribe the coaxial cable and defining a biasing element and an outward-extending breakaway body, the biasing element of the body engaging the first outward-facing barb of each resilient finger when the body is disposed in a first axial position in a pre-installed state; a compression sleeve disposed at an opposite axial side of the body relative to the biasing element; and a coupler rotatably mounted relative to the outer conductor engager, the body, and the compression sleeve, the coupler and the body cooperating to retain a sealing member therebetween, the breakaway body preventing relative axial movement between the coupler and the body in order to maintain a desired positioning of the sealing member, wherein the connector is configured to be assembled onto the coaxial cable by applying an axial force to the compression sleeve in a direction toward the coupler, the axial force first causing the body to move axially relative to the outer conductor engager and the coupler, thereby maintaining the sealing member between the coupler and the body and urging the resilient fingers radially inward toward the coaxial cable, the relative movement between the coupler and the body causing the breakaway body to be broken.
