Patent ID: 7393245

Claim:
A coax cable connector and filter assembly for coupling an end of a coaxial cable to a port, the coaxial cable having a center conductor surrounded by a dielectric layer, the dielectric layer being surrounded by an electrically conductive material, and the conductive material being surrounded by a protective outer jacket, the connector and filter assembly comprising: a connector body having a front body end and a rear body end and an internal surface defining a central passageway there between; an electrical circuit having a front terminal at a first electrical end and a rear terminal at a second electrical end, the electrical circuit located within the central passageway; a post having a front post end and a rear post end, the front post end disposed within the central passageway and the rear post end adapted to engage the electrically conductive material; a compression member assembly having a front end and a rear end, and a throughbore, the front end configured for engagement with the inner surface of the central passageway, the rear end of the compression member assembly including a compression member being moveable with respect to the connector body from a first position permitting the insertion of the coaxial cable into the connector body to a second position to grasp the outer sheath of the coaxial cable; the front body end configured for attachment to a coaxial port; and a compression member cover surrounding a rear end of the compression member.
