Abstract
A gripping member for a coaxial cable connector is disclosed. The gripping member has a front end and a rear end opposite the front end, and an outer surface and an inner surface defining a longitudinal hole extending between the front end and the rear end. A first portion of the gripping member terminates at the front end. A second portion of the gripping member terminates at the rear end and includes at least one notch which extends from the inner surface of second portion to a certain depth from inner surface. The gripping member is configured to be forced under a body of a coaxial cable connector when driven axially forward by a shell of a coaxial cable connector to secure a coaxial cable to the connector.

11. A 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, a braided shield surrounding the dielectric, and a jacket surrounding the braided shield, the connector comprising:
-
a body comprising a rear end, a front end, and an internal surface extending between the rear and front ends of the body, the internal surface defining a longitudinal hole; a shell comprising a rear end, a front end surrounding at least a portion of the body, and an inner surface defining a longitudinal hole extending between the rear and front ends of the shell, the shell being axially movable over an outside portion the body between a rearward position and a forward position; a post disposed at least partially within the longitudinal hole of the body, the post having a rear end, an inner surface and an outer surface, and wherein the outer surface of the post and the internal surface of the post define an annular cavity therebetween; and a gripping member disposed within the longitudinal hole of the shell between the front and rear ends thereof, the gripping member comprising a front end, a rear end, an outer surface, an inner surface defining an opening therein, a first portion adjacent the front end, and a second portion adjacent the rear end, wherein the second portion comprises at least one notch which extends from the inner surface of second portion to a certain depth from inner surface, wherein the gripping member is configured to secure a coaxial cable to a coaxial cable connector. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
