Abstract:
1. A coaxial cable connector for mechanically and electrically connecting a coaxial cable with a threaded interface connector of an electronic device, the coaxial cable connector comprising: an inner sleeve, a front end of the inner sleeve having an outer flange, a first interface section, and a second interface section, a rear end of the inner sleeve having a rearward extending section; an outer sleeve coaxially positioned around the inner sleeve; a nut rotatably connected with the threaded interface connector of the electronic device, a rear end of the nut having an inner flange; and a conductive grounding spring mounted between the first interface section of the inner sleeve and the inner flange of the nut, the conductive grounding spring having an inner annular section fitted around the first interface section of the inner sleeve in secure contact with a circumference of the first interface section, the conductive grounding spring further having multiple plate-like resilient tongue sections formed at an end of the inner annular section at intervals, the resilient tongue sections extending from the end of the inner annular section and being outward bent and expanded for mechanically and electrically connecting with the inner flange of the nut, whereby the coaxial cable connector can be reliably electrically connected with the electronic device via the nut, when the nut of the coaxial cable connector is fully locked to the threaded interface connector of the electronic device, the resilient tongue sections being compressed from an outward expanded position to a contracted position where the resilient tongue sections are positioned between the inner flange of the nut and the first interface section of the inner sleeve, whereby the nut is securely electrically connected with the inner sleeve.
