Abstract: A coaxial cable connector includes tubular post, a coupler secured over an end of the tubular post for securing the connector to an appliance, and an outer body secured to the tubular post. An electrical grounding path is maintained between the coupler and the tubular post whether or not the coupler is tightly fastened to the appliance. The electrical grounding path is provided by a resilient, electrically-conductive grounding member disposed between the tubular post and the coupler. Alternatively, the connector includes conductive grease at a point where mating portions of the tubular post and coupler have closely matching dimensions.

Abstract: A connector for a coaxial cable where the cable comprises a corrugated outer conductor and a hollow inner conductor, where the corrugation is not helically wound, the connector including a main body to be electrically connected to the outer conductor and an outer bushing which can be displaced longitudinally relative to the main body, where the connector furthermore contains a clamping mechanism which includes a radially resilient bushing in contact with the inner surface of the outer conductor and a rigid ring member placed outside the outer conductor in the same region as the resilient bushing, such that the outer conductor during mounting of the connector on the cable is introduced in the gap formed between the resilient bushing and rigid ring member and such that a displacement of the outer bushing relative to the main body results in a decrease of the width of the gap, whereby a firm and reliable contact is established between the outer conductor and the main body.
