A coaxial cable connector with a grounding insert that is between a fastener and and a post to provide electrical continuity therebetween.

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. A center axis of the first through hole and a center axis of the second through hole are offset from one another such that the anterior end the seal is configured to urge at least the center conductor of the coaxial cable to an off-center position of the second through hole when the nut is coupled with the interface port thereby creating radial interference between the nut and the interface port. The nut is urged to make contact with the interface port whenever mounted thereon, thus maintaining electrical grounding between the nut and the port, even when the nut is loosely coupled with the interface port.

A coaxial cable connector includes an outer barrel having a front end and a rear end. The connector includes an inner sleeve within the outer barrel defining a bore, the inner sleeve moving between uncompressed and compressed conditions and including a finger which is formed in the inner sleeve for resilient movement between a neutral position in which the finger is out of the bore, and a deformed position in which the finger is deformed into the bore. The finger includes a base formed to the inner sleeve and a free end. Axial movement of the inner sleeve with respect to the outer barrel from a compressed condition to an uncompressed condition imparts movement to the finger from the neutral position to the deformed position.

Cable shield grounding electrical connectors comprise a cable having a cable shield, an inner insulating sleeve disposed radially inwardly from the cable shield, and an inner conductor radially inward of the inner insulating sleeve. An inner ferrule includes an outer surface, wherein a portion of the cable shield is disposed along at least a portion of the inner ferrule outer surface. An outer ferrule comprises a first section that is disposed concentrically around the inner ferrule, and wherein the portion of the cable shield is interposed between and in direct contact with each of the inner ferrule and the outer ferrule first section, thereby forming an assembly. The connector comprises a housing having an inner cavity and wherein the assembly is disposed within the inner cavity. An electrically interconnecting element is interposed between the assembly and the housing to provide a grounding electrical connection therebetween.

A connector (10), for example, an F-connector, has a barrel (12), which may be threaded, a front flange (14), a frame insert (16), a rear flange (20), a body section (22) between the frame insert (16) and the rear flange, an insulator (60) in the barrel, and a center conductor (24) running through the insulator. The body section forms a slot (18) between the frame insert and the rear flange. The rear flange has two sections (20A, 20B), which mirror each other. A section may be a rectangular block with a curved cutoff; the curved cutouts face each other and, together, provide a passageway for the conductor. The conductor is preferably beryllium-copper with a tin plating. The insulator is preferably a high-temperature thermoplastic, such as a heat-resistant polyamide nylon which can withstand a temperature of 270 C. for 1 minute.

A coaxial cable connector detachably jackets a coaxial cable. The coaxial cable connector includes a metal sleeve, a clamping sleeve, a coupling sleeve, and an internal conductive ring. The clamping sleeve is connected to a first end portion of a main body of the metal sleeve for being squeezed to deform radially to tightly clamp the coaxial cable. The coupling sleeve is disposed at a second end portion of the main body. The internal conductive ring is disposed in a ring containing space of the main body. When the main body jackets the coaxial cable, the metal sleeve is in contact with an external surface of a metal layer of the coaxial cable via the internal conductive ring but not in contact with an internal surface of the metal layer to establish electrical connection between the metal sleeve and the metal layer.

An electrical connector adapted to be electrically connected with a cable includes a fixing assembly, an insulation body, and a conductive terminal overmolded in the insulation body. The fixing assembly includes a receiving portion extending in an axial direction of the electrical connector. An end of the cable is inserted into the receiving portion from a first end of the receiving portion. The insulation body extends from a second end of the receiving portion. The conductive terminal includes a mounting portion mounted in the insulation body and a contact portion extending out of the insulation body. The mounting portion is electrically connected with a conductor of the cable by a bolt member.

A coaxial cable connector system, comprising a coaxial connector, a coaxial cable, and a universal coaxial cable fixing sleeve is provided. The universal coaxial cable fixing sleeve comprises a first gripping component, a second gripping component, and a third gripping component. When the coaxial cable is assembled to the universal coaxial cable fixing sleeve, the first gripping component grips a conductive shield of the cable, and the second and third gripping components grip a protective outer jacket of the cable, respectively. When the universal coaxial cable fixing sleeve is engaged to a first connector, a first housing outer surface thereof corresponds to and fixedly engages with a sleeve receiving inner surface of the first connector, and when disengaged and engaged to a second connector different in type from the first connector, no re-preparation of the cable is required for corresponding fixed engagement.

An electrical receptacle that has a conductive body and a dielectric assembly received in the conductive body. The dielectric assembly has an entry dielectric portion, a distal support dielectric portion opposite the entry dielectric portion, and a reduced-diameter dielectric portion therebetween. An air region is defined between the inner surface of the conductive body and the reduced-diameter dielectric portion. An outer conductor is coupled to the conductive body and receives at least part of the entry dielectric portion. An inner contact is received in the dielectric assembly and has a mating interface end for receiving a corresponding mating contact, a termination end for coupling to a printed circuit board or adapter contact, and an inner through bore therebetween.

A connector for a coaxial cable includes a coupler portion configured to engage an interface port, a housing portion having a forward end configured to be disposed at least partially within the coupler portion, and an outer conductor engager portion made of a conductive material disposed within the housing portion. The housing portion includes a rearward end configured to receive the coaxial cable and is configured to move axially relative to a post that engages the outer conductor of the cable. An interior surface of the housing portion is configured to compress an insert of the post when the housing portion is moved axially relative to the post such that the outer conductor is compressed radially inward against an exterior surface of the insert of the post.
