Coaxial cable connectors with conductor retaining members

摘要

Coaxial cables and coaxial cable connectors are disclosed. In one embodiment, a connector (100) includes a body portion (700) having a first end (71 10) and a second end (750) and defining a bore (725), a contact member (400) having a circumferential portion and at least one protruding member (457), an inner sleeve (300), a rotatable coupling nut (200), and a conductor retaining member (900). The at least one protruding member (457) protrudes from the circumferential portion toward the second end (750) of the body portion (700) and within the bore (725). The rotatable coupling nut (200) is rotatably coupled to the inner sleeve (300) and electrically coupled to the contact member (400). The conductor retaining member (900) is centrally disposed within the inner sleeve (300), and is configured to receive an inner conductor of the co-axial cable such that the inner conductor is free to pass through the conductor retaining member (900) in a first direction, and restricted from passing through the conductor retaining member (900) in a second direction.
