  • Patent number: 11824314
    Abstract: A coaxial cable connector includes a body configured to engage a coaxial cable having a conductive electrical grounding property, a post configured to engage the body and the coaxial cable when the connector is installed on the coaxial cable, and a non-threaded coupler coupled with the body and the post. The coupler is configured to engage an interface port at a retention force, and the non-threaded coupler houses a spring basket that bow radially inward relative to an internal surface of the threaded coupler so as to engage an interface port in order to provide an electrical ground connection between the interface port and the coupler.

  • Patent number: 11296435
    Abstract: A nut assembly for a coaxial cable connector includes a nut configured to engage an interface port and a cap encircling the nut. The nut includes an internal threaded portion configured to engage external threads of the interface port and at least one resilient finger extending in an axial direction from the internal threaded portion toward a forward end of the nut. The forward end includes a tooth extending radially inward, the tooth is configured to contact a surface of a thread of the external threads when the nut is coupled to the interface port, and the tooth is configured to provide ground continuity between the nut and the interface port before the internal threaded portion of the nut is coupled with the external threads. The internal threaded portion and the external threads are configured to provide a retention force between the nut and the interface port.

  • Patent number: 11024989
    Abstract: A coaxial cable connector includes a nut having a seal-grasping surface portion and a seal having an elastically deformable tubular body attached to the nut. The body has a posterior end with a sealing surface that cooperatively engages the seal-grasping surface portion of the nut and an anterior end with a forward sealing surface configured to cooperatively engage an interface port. The nut defines a first through hole extending in the longitudinal direction and configured to receive a center conductor of a coaxial cable. The anterior end of the seal defines a second through hole extending in the longitudinal direction and configured to receive a center conductor of a coaxial cable.
