  • Electrical connector with non-blind conductor entry
    Patent number: 7025630
    Abstract: An electrical connector including an outer housing that defines an inner bore between first and second open ends. The first open end being adapted to engage a mating electrical connector and the second open end being adapted to receive a conductor. A contact assembly is slidably received in the inner bore and includes a contact adapted to engage a contact of the mating electrical connector. The contact assembly is movable between a first position near the second open end of the outer housing and a second position.

  • Compression BNC connector
    Publication number: 20040198095
    Abstract: The connector of the present invention is terminated to an end of a cable, and comprises the following components, which are arranged coaxially: support mandrel, a swaging barrel surrounding the support mandrel, and a swaging cap outside the swaging barrel. The swaging cap has a variable internal diameter which decreases toward the end facing the cable to form a hump-like inner protrusion, and when moved axially, swages the swaging barrel to secure the outer jacket of the electrical cable.

  • Self-locking connector
    Patent number: 4133594
    Abstract: A connector is disclosed which features a bifurcated contact providing a pair of contact legs enveloped within an insulating body or housing having a conductor entry opening registering with the contact legs. The housing includes beveled cam shoulders adjacent its opening and which cooperate with the contact legs to automatically apply a predetermined conductor locking force upon inserting the conductor into the housing between the contact legs and which increase the locking force in response to a conductor withdrawal force being applied.

  • Theftproof connector assembly
    Patent number: 4053195
    Abstract: A readily installed and removable coaxial cable connector assembly which is rendered theftproof by the provision of an end cap which may be manually thrust into an open end of a housing surrounding a coaxial cable connector coupling to close the open end of the housing and simultaneously render the coupling inaccessible. The end cap is releasably locked by a plurality of spring fingers formed on a leading end of the cap and movable with a snap action into an internal groove in the housing.
