Quick mount connector for a coaxial cable
First Claim
Patent Images
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, a shell, and a compression ring without a post configured to engage the coaxial cable between the dielectric and outer conductor, wherein:
- the body comprises a longitudinal opening extending between front and rear ends of the body;
the shell comprises an outer surface and an internal surface;
the internal surface of the shell defines an opening through the shell and engages at least a portion of the rear end of the body;
the compression ring is disposed within the opening of the shell between a portion of the body and a surface of the shell;
the compression ring comprises projections disposed around at least a portion of an internal surface of the compression ring and a rear end disposed rearwardly of the projections;
the projections are disposed around the internal surface of the compression ring so as to be pushed inwardly when the compression ring is forced inwardly against a coaxial cable; and
the rear end of the compression ring forms a seal with a jacket of a coaxial cable when the compression ring is forced inwardly against a coaxial cable.

Abstract
A coaxial cable connector includes a body, a shell, a compression ring, and a coupling portion. The shell may have a collapsible groove that, when the 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 may have projections and a seal-forming rear end that, when the post-less coaxial cable connector is axially compressed, engage the coaxial cable jacket, providing sealing at the back end and anti-rotation torque.

13. A post-less coaxial cable connector comprising a body, a shell, and a compression ring without a post configured to engage a coaxial cable between a dielectric layer and outer conductor layer of the coaxial cable, wherein:
-
the body comprises a longitudinal opening extending between front and rear ends of the body; the shell comprises an outer surface and an internal surface; the internal surface of the shell defines an opening through the shell and engages at least a portion of the rear end of the body; the compression ring is disposed within the opening of the shell between a portion of the body and a surface of the shell; the compression ring comprises projections disposed around at least a portion of an internal surface of the compression ring and a rear end disposed rearwardly of the projections; the projections are disposed around the internal surface of the compression ring so as to be pushed inwardly when the compression ring is forced inwardly; and the rear end of the compression ring is structurally configured to cooperate with the shell to form a sealed end of the coaxial cable connector when the compression ring is forced inwardly. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
