Abstract: A coaxial cable connector includes a tubular L-shaped outer conductive shell (1) having a trunk portion (5) with a coupling opening (8) and an arm portion (7) extending laterally from said trunk portion and having a connection opening (9); an L-shaped dielectric body (2) placed in the conductive shell and having an L-shaped channel (12) therein; and an L-shaped central terminal (3) placed in the L-shaped channel and having an annular connection portion (3B) with a slit for connection with a central conductor (24) of a coaxial cable (20).
Abstract: A cover (40, FIG. 1) is provided for installation on an electrical connector to prevent rotation of a coupling nut (24) relative to the body (22) of the connector, which can be readily installed and removed. The cover is in the form of a tube. The tube is constructed of resilient material and has a slot (46) forming a pair of slot edges that can be spread apart to move the cover sidewardly onto or off of the connector. There is a space between the inside of the cover and the connector, with the space (78, FIG. 2) being greater around the nut than around a rearward portion (50) of the body so that compression of the cover causes it to grip the body rather than the nut. The cover has an inwardly-extending ridge-like projection (64) that fits in a recess of the connector between the rear of the nut and the front of an enlarged part of the connector body to limit axial movement of the cover. The ridge is of reduced thickness at locations (80, 82 in FIG.
