Appl. No.:

11/446809

Inventors:

Julio F. Rodrigues - Collierville TN, US
Allen L. Malloy - Elmira NY, US
Charles E. Thomas - Athens PA, US

Assignee:

Thomas & Betts International, Inc. - Wilmington DE

International Classification:

H01R 9/05

US Classification:

439578

Abstract:

A coaxial cable connector includes an annular post defining an axial bore therein, a cylindrical connector body coupled to the post, a nut rotatably coupled to the post and a sleeve movably connected to the connector body. The sleeve includes at least one radially outwardly extending ridge formed on an outer surface thereof, which frictionally engages an inner surface of the connector body. As a result, the inner surface of the connector body does not require a recess or other engagement structure formed thereon.

International Classification:

H01R 9/05

US Classification:

439578, 439584

Abstract:

A coaxial cable connector includes a connector body having a rearward cable receiving end, a locking sleeve movably coupled within the rearward cable receiving end of the connector body for locking the cable in the connector and a gripping ferrule disposed between the connector body and the locking sleeve. The gripping ferrule includes axially opposite gripping ends which move in a radially inward direction upon compression between the locking sleeve and the connector body to grip the outer surface of the cable.

Assignee:

Belden Inc. - St. Louis MO

International Classification:

H01R 9/05

US Classification:

439584, 439578

Abstract:

A coaxial cable connector which includes a back nut housing having a rearward cable receiving end and a forward end opposite the rearward end, a front nut assembly coupled to the forward end of the back nut housing, a tubular insert shaft supported within the back nut housing, a tubular gripping ferrule radially surrounding the insert shaft and a tubular holder sleeve radially surrounding at least a portion of the gripping ferrule. The axial movement of the holder sleeve causes the gripping ferrule to radially compress around the insert shaft. The insert shaft has a rearward end and an axial slot extending from the rearward end in a forward direction, wherein the slot permits the rearward end of the insert shaft to radially compress upon the radial compression of the gripping ferrule to make removal of a cable from the connector easier.

Assignee:

Belden Inc. - St. Louis MO

International Classification:

H01R 9/05

US Classification:

439578, 439584

Abstract:

A coaxial cable connector for coupling a coaxial cable to a mating connector includes a connector body having a forward end and a rearward cable receiving end for receiving a cable. A nut is rotatably coupled to the forward end of the connector body. An annular post is disposed within the connector body, the post having a forward flanged base portion disposed within a rearward extent of the nut, the forward flanged base portion having a forward face. A biasing element is attached to the forward flanged base portion of the post and includes a deflectable portion extending outwardly in a forward direction beyond the forward face of the post shoulder portion.

International Classification:

H01R 13/60

US Classification:

439578, 439322

Abstract:

A cable connector configured to couple a cable to another connector or piece of video or audio equipment may include a connector body, a nut, an annular post and a biasing element. The connector body may include a forward end and a rearward end, where the forward end is configured to connect to the second connector and the rearward end is configured to receive a coaxial cable. The nut may be rotatably coupled to the forward end of the connector body and the annular post may be disposed within the connector body. The annular post may also include an annular notch located at the forward end of the connector body. The biasing element may be located in the annular notch.

Assignee:

Belden Inc. - St. Louis MO

International Classification:

H01R 9/05

US Classification:

439578, 439843

Abstract:

A terminal assembly is provided for terminating a center conductor of a coaxial cable. The terminal assembly includes a terminal body having a pin at one end and a cavity at the other end for accommodating a center conductor therein. A contact member is supported within the cavity. The contact member includes plural inwardly directed cantilevered beams extending from a contact base for deflectable engagement with the inserted center conductor. The terminal body includes an inwardly directed shoulder for engagement with the beams at a location between the base and the distal ends of the beams. The location defines a deflection fulcrum at a location distal from the base so as to provide increased contact engagement force between the distal ends of the beams and the center conductor.
