Abstract:
1. An electrical connector, comprising: a connector body having opposite first and second ends, said first end being configured to be coupled with a prepared end of a cable; a post received in said connector body; a coupling member having an interface end configured to interface with a mating connector and an free end opposite said interface end that is rotatable with respect to said connector body at said second end of said connector body; and a resilient grounding member disposed between an outer surface of said second end of said connector body and said free end of said coupling member, such that the entirety of said grounding member is exposed outside of said connector body and coupling member, whereby each of said connector body, said coupling member, and said resilient grounding member is conductive thereby creating a grounding path between said connector body and said coupling member without said grounding member contacting said post.
