Claim Text:
1. A coaxial cable connector comprising: a connector body configured to be attached to a post, the connector body being a separate component from the post and configured to prevent axial movement between the body and the post when the body is attached to the post, the connector body having a first end, a second end, and an annular outer recess proximate the second end, the annular outer recess comprising a first surface extending substantially transverse from the second end, and a second surface extending substantially radially outward from the first surface; a coupling element configured to be rotated about the post, the coupling element having a cavity facing the connector body, the cavity comprising an inner surface extending substantially transverse from an end face of the coupling element, and an end face surface extending radially inward from the inner surface; and a continuity element having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface contacting the end face surface of the coupling element and the second surface contacting at least one of the first and second surface of the connector body, the continuity element being positioned such that no portion of the continuity element is located either inside the connector body or inside the end face surface of the coupling element; wherein the continuity element is configured to maintain an electrical connection between the coupling element and the connector body toward an axial direction, the axial direction comprising a general direction of a main axis of the coaxial cable connector and is not limited to a direction that is perfectly parallel to the main axis.
