Patent ID: 7824216

Claim:
A coaxial cable continuity connector comprising; a connector body; a post engageable with the connector body, wherein the post includes a flange having a tapered surface; a nut, wherein the nut includes an internal lip having a tapered surface, wherein the tapered surface of the nut oppositely corresponds to the tapered surface of the post when the nut and post are operably axially located with respect to each other when the coaxial cable continuity connector is assembled; and a continuity member disposed between and contacting the tapered surface of the post and the tapered surface of the nut, so that the continuity member endures a moment resulting from the contact forces of the opposite tapered surfaces, when the continuity connector is assembled; wherein as the continuity member endures the moment resulting from the contact forces of the opposite tapered surfaces, when the connector is assembled, the continuity member maintains continuous physical and electrical contact between the post and the nut; and wherein the continuity member is a flat washer.
