  • Publication number: 20150111429
    Abstract: A grounding member for an electrical connector that has a conductive body including a ring portion that has opposite front and rear edges, the front edge is configured to face a coupling member of the electrical connector, and opposite inner and outer surfaces, the inner surface is configured to face a body of the electrical connector. At least a first resilient arm that extends from the front edge of the ring portion. The first resilient arm has a coupling member contact surface configured to contact the coupling member of the electrical connector. At least a second resilient arm that extends from the rear edge of the ring portion. The second resilient arm has a body contact surface configured to contact the body of the electrical connector. At least one sleeve engagement member that extends from the ring portion configured to engage a gripping sleeve.

  • Patent number: 8808019
    Abstract: An electrical connector that comprises a connector body that has opposite first and second ends. The first end is configured to be coupled with a prepared end of a cable. A coupling member that has an interface end configured to interface with a mating connector and a free end opposite the interface end that is rotatable with respect to the connector body at the second end of the connector body. A resilient grounding member is disposed between an outer surface of the second end of the connector body and the free end of the coupling member. Each of the connector body, the coupling member, and the resilient grounding member is conductive thereby creating a grounding path between the connector body and the coupling member.

  • Publication number: 20140051285
    Abstract: An electrical connector that includes a connector body that has opposite first and second ends where the first end is configured to be coupled with a prepared end of a cable. A coupling member has an interface end configured to interface with a mating connector and a free end that is rotatable with respect to the connector body at the second end of the body. A gripping sleeve is configured to receive at least a portion of the coupling member and the connector body. The gripping sleeve includes a main body that has an internal bore with an inner surface. At least one electrically conductive grounding member disposed on the inner surface of the gripping sleeve. The grounding member has a coupling member contact surface and a connector body contact surface that provide a grounding path between the connector body and the coupling member.
