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 a post of a 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 a coupler to maintain physical and electrical contact between the post and the coupler.
