| 20080293298 | RIGHT-ANGLED COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR - A right-angled coaxial cable connector for coupling an end of a coaxial cable to a terminal is disclosed, the right-angled connector includes fewer components and better impedance characteristics. The right-angled coaxial cable connector includes a main body into which a coaxial cable is inserted, a retainer inserted into the main body, and a coupler for connecting the connector to a terminal. The right-angled coaxial cable connector also has a seal disposed between the retainer and the coupler. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20080311789 | Seals and methods for sealing coaxial cable connectors and terminals - Methods of connecting a coaxial connector and a terminal include providing a coaxial connector with a coupler, the coupler having a seal member in contacting relationship with the coupler such that the seal member is coaxial with the coupler about a longitudinal axis, affixing the coupler to the terminal and after the coupler is affixed to the terminal, sliding the seal member longitudinally toward, and into contact with, the terminal. When in a tightening position, the seal member covers an engagement surface of the coupler, and wherein when in a deployed position, the seal member contacts at least a portion of the terminal. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20090053929 | COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR - A coaxial cable connector having a front end for attachment to a terminal and a back end for attachment to a coaxial cable includes a body, a post mounted within the body; and a contact assembly movably mounted within the post. The contact assembly includes a guide, a contact mounted to the guide, and an insulator partially surrounding the contact. The contact assembly moves longitudinally toward the front end of the connector, such that the front end of the contact moves from a first position within the body to a second position proximate the connector interface, as the connector receives the coaxial cable. The guide has an opening for the center conductor, which is viewable to a user during attachment until the center conductor enters the opening. An adapter is also provided that can be shipped with connector for use in securing the coaxial cable connector on a coaxial cable. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090053930 | Coaxial cable connector with external clip - A coaxial cable connector is provided with an external clip that can be installed on location rather than in a factory. An adapter is also provided that can be shipped with connector for securing the external clip on the coaxial cable connector and the connector on a coaxial cable. A method for assembling the connector, the clip and the cable is also disclosed. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090111323 | Coaxial Connector with Telescoping Center Conductor Mechanism - A connector having a front end for attachment to a terminal and a back end for attachment to a coaxial cable includes a body, a post mounted within the body; and a contact assembly movably mounted within the post and body. The contact assembly includes a guide, a contact mounted to the guide, and preferably a clip mounted to the contact for making electrical and mechanical connection with the center conductor of the coaxial cable and a sabot. The contact assembly moves longitudinally toward the front end of the connector, such that the front end of the contact moves from a first position completely within the body to a second position proximate the connector interface, as the connector receives the coaxial cable. Preferably, the guide has an opening for the center conductor, which is viewable to a user during attachment until the center conductor enters the opening. The sabot moves with the contact assembly in a telescoping fashion enabling a greater distance of axial displacement. In addition, the contact assembly preferably contains a means to prevent the cable from being forced backward after installation. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090291580 | Seal member for coaxial cable connector and terminal - A seal member for a coaxial cable connector has a generally tubular seal body with a first and s first and second positions. The seal member also includes a retaining member to hold the seal member on a connector. The seal member has an internal surface that in one position is directed at least in part radially outward. The seal member may also have a first outer surface that touches the retaining member in one of the positions. | 11-26-2009 |
| 20100022125 | Hardline Coaxial Cable Connector - A hardline coaxial cable connector includes a body subassembly, a back nut subassembly and a deformable ferrule disposed within the back nut subassembly. The back nut subassembly is rotatable with respect to the body subassembly and a coaxial cable inserted therein. Axial advancement of the back nut subassembly toward the body subassembly causes the ferrule to deform radially inwardly. | 01-28-2010 |
| 20100105246 | RF Terminator With Improved Electrical Circuit - An RF coaxial terminator includes an impedance match element mounted within a housing. The impedance match element includes a central conductive pin, a supportive element, a ring, and a resistor, wherein the resistor longitudinally extends in a direction that is not coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the central conductive pin. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100216339 | Coaxial Connector with Dual-Grip Nut - A connector for coaxial cable includes a dual-grip nut having a first external gripping surface and a second external gripping surface. The smallest outer diameter of the first external gripping surface is less than the smallest outer diameter of the second external gripping surface. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20110021070 | Coaxial Angle Connector and Related Method - A coaxial angle connector includes a pin having first and second ends, the first end being generally perpendicular to the second end. The pin is moveable from a first position to a second position in response to insertion of a coaxial cable into the connector and provides a positive visual indication of proper cable center conductor installation. The connector can also optionally include an coupling nut with a dual-grip surface. | 01-27-2011 |
| 20110097928 | Locking Ratcheting Torque Aid - A torque aid for a coaxial connector is provided. The torque aid has a tubular grip element and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism is moveable from a first position to a second position. When the locking mechanism is in the first position, rotation of the torque aid is inhibited in at least one direction. When the locking mechanism is in the second position, the torque aid is rotatable in either the clockwise or counterclockwise direction. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20110111623 | Integrally Conductive Locking Coaxial Connector - The coaxial connector has a coupling nut, a post, a hollow body, and a ring that prevents interfaces from gapping and provide a robust alternative ground path that also RF shields the connector from both ingress and egress. The ring is biased radially outward to engage the coupling nut, thereby biasing the coupling nut in a rearward direction and, at the same time, biasing the post in a forward direction to engage a terminal. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110117776 | Integrally Conductive And Shielded Coaxial Cable Connector - The coaxial cable connector has a coupler, a post, and a ring that prevent interfaces from gapping and provide a robust alternative ground path that also RF shields the connector from both ingress and egress. The ring is disposed in between and engages at least a portion of a groove in the body and at least a portion of the channel in the coupler, radial movement of the coupler causes the axial movement of the body relative to the terminal. | 05-19-2011 |
