First Claim
Patent Images
1. An improved male F-Type connector with radio frequency shield comprising:
- a post and an electrically conductive nut, the post surrounded at least in part by an electrically conductive body;
the nut encircles a post end flange and the nut receives a forward mouth of the connector body;
an electrically conductive bridge having a cone-like shape and a centerline about coincident with a central axis of the connector;
the bridge interposed between the forward mouth of the connector body and a nut inner wall; and
,the bridge mechanically contacting and thereby electrically interconnecting the nut and the connector body.

Abstract
A male F-Type coaxial cable connector has an improved RF shield including a bridge located between and electrically interconnecting a connector fastening nut and a connector body portion. The bridge may be in the form of a metal ring, or similar material, with a cone-like shape and may include a gap to provide resiliency.
