COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTORS HAVING GROUND CONTINUITY
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, a nut configured to engage an interface port at a retention force, and a retention adding element configured to increase the retention force between the nut and the interface port so as to maintain ground continuity between the interface port and the nut when the nut is in a loosely tightened position on the interface port.
COAXIAL CONNECTOR CALIBRATION DEVICES
Calibration devices, systems, and methods for push-on RF connectors are described. A male calibration connector can include a removable detent portion. With the removable detent portion removed, the male calibration connector can connect to a female calibration standard during a calibration process. With the removable detent portion installed, the male calibration connector can connect to a female push on connectors. Female calibration connectors and male calibration standards are also described.
Contact device, in particular a coaxial contact device
