COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR WITH INTEGRAL RFI PROTECTION

摘要

A coaxial cable connector for coupling an end of a coaxial cable to a terminal is disclosed. The connector has a coupler, a body assembled with the coupler, and a post assembled with the coupler and the body. The coupler is adapted to couple the connector and, thereby, the coaxial cable to the terminal. The post is adapted to receive an end of a coaxial cable and has a contacting portion of monolithic construction with the post. The contacting portion extends in a generally perpendicular orientation with respect to a longitudinal axis of the connector, and is configured to maintain the generally perpendicular orientation and facilitate and electrical continuity between the post and the coupler to provide RF shielding such that the integrity of an electrical signal transmitted through coaxial cable connector is maintained regardless of the tightness of the coupling of the connector to the terminal.
