Quick mount connector for a coaxial cable
First Claim
1. A post-less coaxial cable 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, and a jacket surrounding the outer conductor, the post-less coaxial cable connector comprising:
- a body having an internal surface extending between front and rear ends of the body, the internal surface defining a longitudinal opening, and a collapsible groove disposed between the front and rear ends;
a shell having an outer surface and an internal surface, the internal surface defining an opening through the shell, the internal surface slidingly engaging at least a portion of the rear end of the body; and
a compression ring disposed within the shell and engaging the rear end of the body, the compression ring having an internal surface and at least a portion of the internal surface having projections disposed around at least a portion thereof.

Abstract
A post-less coaxial cable connector includes a body, a shell, a compression ring, and a coupling portion. The shell has a collapsible groove that, when the post-less coaxial cable connector is axially compressed, collapses and engages the coaxial cable. This provides pull strength and electrical communication in the post-less coaxial cable connector. The compression ring has projections, that when the post-less coaxial cable connector is axially compressed, engage the coaxial cable jacket, providing sealing at the back end and rotation torque.
