Enhanced Continuity Coaxial Connectors with Socketed Nut

摘要

An axially compressible F-connector for conventional installation tools for interconnection with coaxial cable includes a rigid nut with a rear skirt forming a socket. A rigid, tubular post penetrates the nut and engages coaxial cable. An internal, slidable sleeve has a plug portion that is adapted to engage and seat within the socket. A tubular end cap completes the assembly. The tubular post coaxially extends through the connector, physically connecting the nut and coaxial cable it engages. However, grounding is insured by portions of the cable sheath that are sandwiched within the socket between the sleeve plug and the nut skirt by sealing O-rings affixed to the sleeve plug.

主权项

1. A compressible coaxial connector for coaxial cable, the connector comprising:
a nut adapted to threadably fasten the connector, the nut comprising a rear skirt forming a socket; an elongated, hollow post comprising a portion that internally abuts the nut and a shank portion that engages the cable; a hollow, tubular sleeve coaxially disposed over said post shank, the body comprising a plug portion adapted to be inserted within said socket; wherein at least a portion of the coaxial cable sheath is forced by said plug portion into electrical and mechanical contact with said nut; and, an end cap adapted to be coupled to said connector.
