  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20070163947
    Abstract: A filter assembly includes housing enclosing a replaceable filter element. A support core is provided in the housing, and includes an extension and locking assembly. The element includes a ring of filtration media with a pair of end caps. The first end cap includes a central opening to receive the support core. The extension and locking assembly prevents the cover of the housing from being attached to the housing body without a proper filter element installed. The extension and locking assembly includes a bypass member and a locking member, which are in locking engagement when an element is absent in the housing. The second end cap includes internal protrusions which engage the locking member when the filter element is installed to disengage the bypass member from the support core, and allow the element to be inserted and the cover to be installed.

  • Publication number: 20070017370
    Abstract: A filter element (102) comprising a filter media (106) and a membrane (114). The filter media (106) filters impurities (e.g., water and/or contaminants) from a liquid (e.g., a liquid fuel initially containing impurities) as the liquid passes from the inlet side (110) to the outlet side (112) of the filter element (102). The membrane (114) is permeable to air and impermeable to the liquid and the impurities. The membrane (114) is positioned to provide a bypass from the inlet side (110) to the outlet side (112) of the filter element whereby air intermixed with the fluid will not accumulate on the inlet side (110) of the filter element (102).
