  • Patent number: 11721917
    Abstract: A connector is configured to terminate an end of a coaxial cable. The connector includes a body, a nut, an outer conductor engager, and a grounding member. The body has a cable receiving end configured to receive the end of the coaxial cable, and the nut is configured to be coupled with and to rotate relative to the body. The outer conductor engager is configured to receive a conductive layer of end of the coaxial cable, and the grounding member is configured to couple the body, the nut, and the outer conductor engager in an assembled configuration. A first end of the grounding member is configured to extend grounding of the coaxial cable from the outer conductor engager to the nut, and a second end of the grounding member is configured to grip an outer protective jacket of the coaxial cable to prevent removal of the coaxial cable from the connector.

  • Patent number: 10404018
    Abstract: A connector includes a conductor engager, coupler-driver and a compressor-body. A coupler is disposed over and engages a grounding end of the conductor engager while a torque drive member rotationally drives the coupler to threadedly engage an interface port. Threaded engagement of the coupler causes the conductor engager to move forwardly toward the interface port and the torque drive member to move rearwardly relative to the conductor engager. Rearward movement of the torque drive member causes a compressor to slide axially over plurality of radially compliant fingers of the compressor-body. The compliant fingers are displaced radially inward to compress a prepared end of the coaxial cable, i.e., an outer conductor and a radially compliant outer jacket, against a tubular-shaped retention end of the conductor engager. Compression of the prepared end connects the coaxial cable to the connector.

  • Patent number: 9954323
    Abstract: A connector includes an conductor engager, coupler-driver and a compressor-body. A coupler is disposed over and engages a grounding end of the conductor engager while a torque drive member rotationally drives the coupler to threadably engage an interface port. Threaded engagement of the coupler causes the conductor engager to move forwardly toward the interface port and the torque drive member to move rearwardly relative to the conductor engager. Rearward movement of the torque drive member causes a compressor to slide axially over plurality of radially compliant fingers of the compressor-body.
