Continuity providing port

摘要

A port for providing electrical continuity to a coaxial cable connector includes, in one embodiment, an outer housing having a first end and a second end. The outer housing is configured to terminate a coaxial cable connector at one or both of a first end and a second end. The biasing member is disposed within the outer housing to bias a post of the coaxial cable to extend continuity between the port and a mated connector.

主权项

1. A port for a connector having a post and a coupler comprising:
an outer housing having a first portion and a second portion; a collar having a flange configured to engage the post of the connector; a first insulator body disposed within the first portion and having a mating edge, the mating edge configured to engage the flange; a second insulator body disposed within the second portion and having a first end and a second end; and a biasing member at least partially surrounding the first insulator body, the biasing member having a forward end configured to engage the collar and a rearward end configured to engage the second insulator; wherein advancing the connector onto the outer housing is configured to exert a biasing force against the collar to contact the post, and wherein the biasing force biases the post into contact with the coupler to maintain physical and electrical contact between the post and the coupler.
