A compressible F-connector and method for interconnection with coaxial cable that includes a biasing member for promoting electrical continuity.
Abstract:
A compressible, F-connector for interconnection with coaxial cable that includes at least one biasing system for promoting electrical continuity, despite inadequate nut tightening. Each connector has a rigid nut, a post penetrating the nut, a tubular body, and an end cap. The conductive post coaxially extends through the connector, linking the nut and body. A post end penetrates the coaxial cable. Biasing systems emanating from the body pressure the nut. The biasing systems comprise pistons or bearings yieldably biased by springs seated within radially spaced-apart bores in the connector body that are pressured outwardly of the body towards the nut. Yieldable pressure applied to the nut by the biasing systems insures mechanical and electrical contact between the nut and the post.

Abstract:
A compressible F-connector and method for interconnection with coaxial cable that includes a biasing grommet for promoting electrical continuity despite inadequate nut tightening. Each connector has a rigid nut, a post penetrating the nut, a tubular body, and an end cap. The conductive post coaxially extends through the connector, linking the nut and body. A post end penetrates the coaxial cable. Each connector body comprises a frontal annular groove in which is seated a biasing grommet with projections extending from one or both grommet ends that bias the nut to insure mechanical and electrical contact with the post. In one embodiment of the invention the projections are semicircular. In alternative embodiments the projections may be triangular or square, and projections on one grommet end may be radially offset from projections on the opposite end.
