Patent ID: 8393919

Claim:
A coaxial connector for use with a coaxial cable with an outer conductor, comprising: a connector body provided with a connector body bore; a coupling body provided with a coupling body bore; a compression sidewall of the connector body bore provided with an increasing diameter towards a cable end of the connector body; a grip ring seated within the coupling body bore, provided with a plurality of coupling spring fingers extending towards a connector end of the grip ring, an inner diameter of the coupling spring fingers provided with a grip surface; an inward projecting cable stop provided at a connector end of the coupling spring fingers; and an annular compression body seated on an outer diameter of the grip ring between a compression surface of the coupling body and an upward projecting compression body shoulder of the coupling spring fingers; the connector body and the coupling body coupled together via threads; the grip ring dimensioned for axial advancement of the coupling body along the threads to drive the compression body against the compression shoulder and the coupling spring fingers against the compression sidewall to exert a compression force radially inward upon the outer diameter of the outer conductor seated in the coupling body bore abutting the cable stop.
