Patent ID: 8303339

Claim:
An audio jack connector device for a phone plug, the audio jack connector device comprising: an audio jack comprising a socket body and a connector comprising: a connector body and a fastener, wherein the audio jack and connector comprise a series of conductors concentrically arranged in the audio jack connector device, the series of conductors comprising a contact body located in the audio jack, the contact body configured for engaging and electrically contacting the center conductor of the coaxial cable and a post located in the connector for electrically contacting the at least first conductive sheath; wherein the connector is adapted to connect the audio jack to a coaxial cable, wherein the coaxial cable comprises a center conductor surrounded by at least a first dielectric, the at least first dielectric being surrounded by at least a first conductive sheath, and the at least first conductive sheath surrounded by a protective outer jacket; wherein the connector is adapted to mechanically and electrically connect by compressing the center conductor of the coaxial cable to a first conductor in the series of conductors of the audio jack and connector and the first conductive sheath of the coaxial cable to a second conductor in the series of conductors of the audio jack and connector; wherein the fastener is in operative engagement with the connector body; and wherein the connector body is configured for an interference fit with the post; and where upon axial advancement of the fastener, the connector securely fastens to the cable by compression.
