Patent number: 5865654Abstract: An inexpensive coaxial cable connector, and an inexpensive contact which is suitable for use in an such an inexpensive coaxial cable connector, the connector and the contact being capable of passing electrical signals from low frequency power up to and including telecommunications signals in the range of 1 GHz or more. The connector comprises an elongate, hollow, conductive, cylindrical barrel having an inner radius, R.sub.BARREL, and a first longitudinal axis; and an elongate, conductive contact. The contact has a first end and a second end which define a length therebetween, a second longitudinal axis, and comprises a cylindrical section. The cylindrical section has an outer radius, R.sub.CONTACT, which is less than R.sub.BARREL.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 1997Date of Patent: February 2, 1999Assignee: Raychem CorporationInventors: Gerald Shimirak, Philip Vail, Nelson Shen, Nils Wydler, Anthony Vranicar, Gary Wagner, Mohamed Higgy, Mel Nance

Patent number: 5857865Abstract: A sealed F-connector, with a threaded section and a recessed section adjacent the threaded section, has a ring-shaped elastomeric sealing member formed within the recessed section and affixed to the surface of the recessed section. When a connector shell from a mating connector is screwed on, the sealing member deforms as the connector shell screws on over the sealing member, thereby lining at least a portion of the internal thread of the connector shell and at least a portion of the recessed section of the F-connector. The deformed sealing member thereby establishes a barrier to the penetration of moisture between the F-connector and the mating connector.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 1997Date of Patent: January 12, 1999Assignee: Raychem CorporationInventors: Gerald Shimirak, Anthony Vranicar
