Abstract:
A coaxial cable connector for coupling an end of a coaxial cable to a terminal is disclosed. The connector has a coupler adapted to couple the connector to a terminal, a body assembled with the coupler and a post assembled with the coupler and the body. The post is adapted to receive an end of a coaxial cable. The post has an integral contacting portion that is monolithic with at least a portion of the post. When assembled the coupler and post provide at least one circuitous path resulting in RF shielding such that RF signals external to the coaxial cable connector are attenuated, such that the integrity of an electrical signal transmitted through coaxial cable connector is maintained regardless of the tightness of the coupling of the connector to the terminal.

Claim (Index 26):
A coaxial cable connector for coupling an end of a coaxial cable to a terminal, the coaxial cable comprising an inner conductor, a dielectric surrounding the inner conductor, an outer conductor surrounding the dielectric, and a jacket surrounding the outer conductor, the connector comprising:\n a coupler comprising a front end, a rear end, a surface defining an inner bore disposed between the front end and the rear end, and a lip extending inwardly into the inner bore from the surface defining the inner bore, the lip comprising a forward facing surface and a rearward facing surface, the coupler configured to couple the connector to the terminal; a body assembled with the coupler, the body comprising a forward portion and a rearward portion, the forward portion of the body extending into the inner bore of the coupler and expanding radially outward in the inner bore of the coupler forward of the lip of the coupler to define a rearward facing annular surface opposing the forward facing surface of the lip of the coupler, the rearward portion of the body expanding radially outward behind the rear end of the coupler to define a forward facing annular surface opposing the rearward facing surface of the lip of the coupler; and a post assembled with the coupler and the body, the post comprising a front end extending into the inner bore of the coupler through the rear end of the coupler, wherein\n the post is configured to receive an end of a coaxial cable and the post comprises a flange, an outer surface, a contacting portion, an enlarged shoulder, and an inner surface, \n the outer surface of the post extends between the flange and the contacting portion of the post, \n the enlarged shoulder expands radially from the inner surface of the post and defines a rearward facing annular surface of the post extending between the inner surface of the post and the outer surface of the post, and \n the contacting portion of the post extends from the enlarged shoulder of the post over the outer surface of the post between the flange of the post and the enlarged shoulder of the post.
