Abstract:
A connector includes a conductor engager, coupler-driver and a compressor-body. A coupler is disposed over and engages a grounding end of the conductor engager while a torque drive member rotationally drives the coupler to threadedly engage an interface port. Threaded engagement of the coupler causes the conductor engager to move forwardly toward the interface port and the torque drive member to move rearwardly relative to the conductor engager. Rearward movement of the torque drive member causes a compressor to slide axially over plurality of radially compliant fingers of the compressor-body. The compliant fingers are displaced radially inward to compress a prepared end of the coaxial cable, i.e., an outer conductor and a radially compliant outer jacket, against a tubular-shaped retention end of the conductor engager. Compression of the prepared end connects the coaxial cable to the connector.

Claim (Index 1):
A connector comprising:\n a conductor engager portion having a grounding end and a compression retention end, the conductor engager portion configured to engage an outer conductor of a coaxial cable and at least partially receive an inner conductor of the coaxial cable; a coupler portion disposed over the grounding end of the conductor engager portion; a torque drive portion disposed over and rotationally connected to the coupler portion; a body portion receiving the compression retention end of the conductor engager portion, the body portion including a plurality of radially compliant elongate fingers and defining an annular cavity with the compression retention end of the conductor engager portion, the annular cavity receiving the outer conductor and a compliant outer jacket of the coaxial cable; and a compressor portion receiving at least a portion of the body portion, wherein the torque drive portion is configured to rotatingly connect the coupler portion to an interface port such that as the conductor engager portion moves forwardly toward the interface port, the compressor portion is configured to engage a rearward face of the torque drive portion and slide over the body portion to radially displace the compliant fingers of the body inwardly to: (i) electrically couple the outer conductor to the compression retention end of the conductor engager portion, and (ii) mechanically couple the compliant outer jacket of the coaxial cable to the connector without requiring use of special tools to connect the coaxial cable to the connector.
