  • Publication number: 20210167563
    Abstract: A coaxial connector assembly for attachment to a corrugated coaxial cable, includes a rear outer body, having an engagement element to be received over a portion of the corrugated coaxial cable and a front subassembly. The front subassembly is configured for partial insertion into the rear outer body and includes a front body shell, having a deformable end portion and a rearward annular extension spaced apart from the deformable end portion such that a pinching space is formed between the deformable end portion and the rearward annular extension. Upon coupling of the rear outer body with the front body shell, a portion of the corrugated outer conductor is configured for positioning within the pinching space.

  • Publication number: 20140106614
    Abstract: A coaxial connector for coupling an end of a coaxial cable to a terminal is disclosed. The coaxial cable connector includes a body, a retainer, a coupler, a ferrule, and a shell. The retainer engages the body and rotatably engages the coupler. The ferrule slidingly engages at least a portion of the retainer and at least one portion of the body. The ferrule engages at least a portion of the cable outer conductor. The shell slidingly engages at least a portion of the rear end of the body. A sealing ring engages the rear end of the body. Upon compression of the coaxial cable connector the sealing ring engages the jacket of the coaxial cable.

  • Patent number: 8366482
    Abstract: A hardline coaxial cable connector includes a body subassembly, a back nut subassembly and a deformable ferrule disposed within the back nut subassembly. The back nut subassembly is rotatable with respect to the body subassembly and a coaxial cable inserted therein. Axial advancement of the back nut subassembly toward the body subassembly causes the ferrule to deform radially inwardly and be in electrical communication with the body subassembly.

  • Patent number: 7828594
    Abstract: A connector having a front end for attachment to a terminal and a back end for attachment to a coaxial cable includes a body, a post mounted within the body; and a contact assembly movably mounted within the post and body. The contact assembly includes a guide, a contact mounted to the guide, and preferably a clip mounted to the contact for making electrical and mechanical connection with the center conductor of the coaxial cable and a sabot. The contact assembly moves longitudinally toward the front end of the connector, such that the front end of the contact moves from a first position completely within the body to a second position proximate the connector interface, as the connector receives the coaxial cable. Preferably, the guide has an opening for the center conductor, which is viewable to a user during attachment until the center conductor enters the opening. The sabot moves with the contact assembly in a telescoping fashion enabling a greater distance of axial displacement.
