Patent ID: 7972175

Claim:
A coaxial cable connector for connecting to a coaxial cable, comprising: a connector body having a first end and a second end; a fastener interoperating with the first end of the body; a one-piece compression ring mounted to the second end of the body; an electrically conductive threaded post having a first end and a second end; the threaded post consisting of a post portion and a mandrel portion; at least one helical thread on the first end of the post, wherein the at least one thread is adapted to assist in moving, with a twisting motion, the post between a braided layer of a coaxial cable and a dielectric layer of the coaxial cable; and the mandrel portion being adjacent the second end of the post; an electrical insulator fitted inside the body axially adjacent the mandrel portion of the post but not surrounding or inside any part of the post portion; an electrically conductive pin part of which is fitted inside the insulator; and a clamp fitted entirely inside a portion of the body and a portion of the compression ring; wherein the first end of the connector body includes a 50 ohm connector portion; wherein the conductive pin includes a collet structure at one end adapted to receive a center conductor of a coaxial cable; and wherein, when the compression ring is subjected to axial force moving the compression ring against a portion of the connector body, the interoperation between the compression ring and the connecter body is adapted to force a portion of the compression ring against an outermost layer outside of the coaxial cable with no radial compression of the compression ring.
