Coaxial cable connector
First Claim
1. A coaxial cable connector for connecting a coaxial cable to a terminal, the coaxial cable comprising an inner conductor, an insulator layer surrounding the inner conductor, an outer conductor layer surrounding the insulator layer, and an outer jacket, the coaxial cable connector comprising a coupler, a body, and a post, wherein:
- the coupler is adapted to couple the connector to the terminal, and comprises an inside bore;
the body is secured to the coupler so that the body does not rotate with the coupler;
the post is secured to and disposed inside of the body, the post comprising a collar portion, a backstop, and a contacting portion;
the contacting portion of the post extends from the collar portion of the post to an end of the contacting portion in contact with the inside bore of the coupler; and
the backstop is positioned to engage the contacting portion at a discrete point between the collar portion of the post and the end of the contacting portion in contact with the inside bore of the coupler.

Abstract
A coaxial connector having an axially moveable shell in opposition to a separate and distinct body component wherein the moveable shell contains a gripping member capable of having the front portion displaced radially inwardly by the body so that the gripping member is positioned within the connector body and between the connector body and the coaxial cable and secures the cable to the connector and environmentally seals the junction while at the same time the shell contains a structure to move a rear portion of the gripping member radially outwardly upon compression. In some embodiments disclosed herein the shell contains a structure to prevent a rear portion of the gripping member from moving radially inwardly upon compression. Other connector shell embodiments may be made from a one-piece stamping instead of a machined component and thereby deliver a manufacturing cost savings.
