    Abstract: Axially compressible, F-connectors for conventional installation tools for interconnection with coaxial cable include biasing fingers for promoting electrical continuity despite inadequate nut tightening. Each connector has a rigid nut, a post penetrating the nut, a tubular body, and an end cap. The conductive post coaxially extends through the connector, linking the nut and body. A post end penetrates the coaxial cable. Each connector body comprises a plurality of radially, spaced apart biasing fingers for pressuring the nut to insure mechanical and electrical contact with the post. In one form of the invention the fingers border spaced apart notches in the body, and extend parallel with the axis of the connector. In an alternative embodiment, fingers are defined between radially spaced-apart slots on a flange associated with the body.
