COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR WITH INTEGRAL RFI PROTECTION

摘要

A coaxial cable connector comprising an assembled coupler, body, and post is provided. The back end of the post and the back end of the body are adapted to receive an end of a coaxial cable. The coupler further comprises a central passage, a lip with a forward facing surface and a rearward facing surface, and a bore forward of the lip, and is adapted to couple the connector to a coaxial cable terminal. The post further comprises a collar portion and an enlarged shoulder disposed forward of the lip of the coupler within the bore of the coupler. The enlarged shoulder of the post is disposed forward of the collar portion of the post. A contacting portion of the post comprises an extension of the collar portion of the post and at least a portion of the enlarged shoulder of the post comprises a proximity feature. The contacting portion of the post contacts the bore of the coupler and bends towards the front end of the connector when the post is assembled with the coupler. The proximity feature is configured to inhibit a degree to which the contacting portion may bend towards the front end of the connector upon contact with the bore of the coupler.

主权项

1. A coaxial cable connector for coupling an end of a coaxial cable to a terminal, the coaxial cable comprising an inner conductor, a dielectric surrounding the inner conductor, an outer conductor surrounding the dielectric, and a jacket surrounding the outer conductor, the connector comprising:
a coupler adapted to couple the connector to the terminal, wherein the coupler has an inside surface having contours; a body assembled with the coupler; and a post assembled with the coupler and the body, wherein the post is adapted to receive an end of a coaxial cable, and wherein the post comprises a contacting portion and a proximity feature, wherein the contacting portion and the proximity feature are monolithic with the post, and wherein the contacting portion forms to the contours of the coupler when the post is assembled with the coupler, and wherein the proximity feature is configured to inhibit the contacting portion from over-forming when forming to the contour of the coupler.
