Abstract:
1. A coaxial cable connector for coupling an end of a coaxial cable to a terminal, the coaxial cable comprising an inner conductor, a dielectric surrounding the inner conductor, an outer conductor surrounding the dielectric, and a jacket surrounding the outer conductor, the connector comprising: a coupler adapted to couple the connector to the terminal; a body assembled with the coupler, a post assembled with the coupler and the body, wherein the post is adapted to receive an end of a coaxial cable, and a retainer assembled with the coupler, the body and the post, wherein the retainer extends into the body, wherein electrical continuity is established through the coupler, the post and the retainer other than by the use of a component unattached from the coupler, the post, the body and the retainer to provide RF shielding to maintain integrity of an electrical signal transmitted through the coaxial cable connector regardless of the tightness of the coupling of the connector to the terminal.
