1. A coaxial cable connector comprising:
a body having a continuity engaging body portion, a sealing member engaging body portion, a coupler engaging body portion, and a post engaging body portion, the coupler engaging body portion including a forwardly facing body surface; a post having a coupler engaging post portion and a body engaging post portion, the coupler engaging post portion including an outwardly extending post protrusion having a coupler engaging post protrusion surface; a coupler having an inner coupler surface, a continuity engaging coupler portion, a sealing member engaging coupler portion, a body engaging coupler portion, and a post engaging coupler portion, the post engaging coupler portion including a first inwardly extending coupler lip surface configured to face a forward direction and engage the coupler engaging post protrusion surface when the connector is in an assembled state, the continuity engaging coupler portion being configured to be located rearward from the sealing member engaging coupler portion and located rearward from the post engaging coupler portion when the connector is in the assembled state, the body engaging coupler portion including a second inwardly extending coupler lip surface configured to face a rearward direction and engage the forwardly facing body surface of the coupler engaging body portion when the connector is in the assembled state, and the continuity engaging coupler portion including a rearwardly facing coupler surface when the connector is in the assembled state; a continuity member configured to provide grounding continuity even when the connector is in a loose state, the continuity member being positioned outside the inner coupler surface and outside the body such that no portion of the continuity member is located either inside the body or inside the rearwardly facing coupler surface of the continuity engaging coupler portion when the connector is in the assembled state; wherein the continuity member does not contact the second inwardly extending coupler lip surface of the body engaging coupler portion when the connector is in the assembled state; wherein the body extends between the continuity member and a portion of the post when the connector is in the assembled state, and the continuity member extends around a section of the body when the connector is in the assembled state; and wherein the coupler is configured to move between a first position, where the continuity member contacts the rearwardly facing coupler surface of the continuity engaging coupler portion and where the second inwardly extending coupler lip surface of the body engaging coupler portion does not engage the forwardly facing body surface of the coupler engaging body portion, and a second position, where the continuity member contacts the rearwardly facing coupler surface of the continuity engaging coupler portion and where the second inwardly extending coupler lip surface of the body engaging coupler portion engages the forwardly facing body surface of the coupler engaging body portion so as to prevent the coupler from over-compressing the continuity member when the coupler moves between the first and second positions. |
