A cable connector comprising a connector body, a compression member operably connected to a second end of the connector body, the compression member including a compression portion having a forward facing surface, wherein the compression portion protrudes from an inner surface of the compression member, wherein, when the compression member is slidably axially compressed within the connector body, the compression portion of the compression member compresses an inner sleeve into crimping engagement with a coaxial cable is provided. An associated method is also provided.

Mini coax cable connector

A coaxial cable connector for connection to a terminal includes inner and outer spaced concentric sleeves configured to cooperate in retaining an end of a coaxial cable, at least one of the inner and outer sleeves having a flange at its forward end and a coupling member configured to draw the flange toward an end of the terminal. The coupling member and the flange have confronting surface portions therebetween. The connector further includes an annular electrically conductive member disposed between the confronting surface portions for establishing conductivity between the coupling member and the flange when the coupling member and the flange are drawn into proximity with one another.

Coaxial cable connector with conductive seal

A coaxial cable connector, in one embodiment, includes a first housing, a second housing and an inner body. The inner body is fixed or stationary relative to the first housing based on the position of the second housing. The inner body configured to be moveable relative to the first housing when the second housing is in the first position; and stationary relative to the first housing when the second housing is in the second position.

Coaxial cable connector

A coaxial cable connector includes a forward outer housing having at least one slot and a rearward threaded portion, the at least one slot configured to receive a corresponding pin of a mating connector; a rear outer housing having a forward threaded portion configured to threadingly engage the rearward threaded portion of the forward outer housing such that the rear outer housing is moveable between a first position and a second position relative to the forward outer housing; and an inner body extending through at least a portion of the forward outer housing and the rear outer housing. The inner body is longitudinally displaceable relative to the forward outer housing when the rear outer housing is in the first position, and the inner body is longitudinally fixed relative to the forward outer housing when the rear outer housing is in the second position.

Locking and sealing connector

A hand-held tool for terminating connectors onto a coaxial cable has an elongated body and an end stop and plunger on the body, the plunger being controlled by a lever arm which will axially advance the plunger toward and away from the end stop to radially compress a portion of the connector into firm crimping engagement with the end of the coaxial cable. To accommodate different lengths of connectors, a plunger permits mounting of different length adapter tips to vary the axial spacing between the adapter tips and the end stop according to the length of connector being terminated.

Adapter tips for cable connectors

A connector of termination assembly for a mini-coaxial cable in different embodiments is made up of an extension tip which is preassembled in a connector body to receive the inner conductor pin on the cable, a first inner sleeve which fits over an exposed end of the dielectric layer, a second outer sleeve which surrounds a compression ring, and a crimping ring is mounted on the outside of the outer sleeve to force the sleeves to be radially contracted into crimping engagement with the cable. Variations of the connector body may be employed for different types of connectors including modifications in the extension tip to facilitate insertion of the conductor into the assembly and color bands to signify the size of cable and intended application.

Mini-coax cable connector

A compression tool for connecting a cable fitting to the end of a cable includes a plunger having a chuck at one end together with an extension member releasably connected to the end of the chuck and aligned with enlarged recesses in spaced guideways, dies on the tool can be expanded to permit insertion of the connector fitting and cable into engagement with the end of the chuck or the extension member and contracted to apply a uniform crimping force to the fitting in response to axial force applied to the chuck, and the spaced guideways have angled guide slots to correlate the advancement of the dies with the effective length of the chuck to cause the cable fitting to be contracted into crimping engagement with the end of the cable; and a special cable fitting is provided for smaller cables to compensate for the difference in diameter between standard cables and the smaller cables.

Universal coaxial cable compression tool

Universal cable connector with interchangeable color bands

A cable termination assembly is made up of one of a plurality of connector bodies each having a thin-walled outer sleeve which may be composed of metal or plastic, the outer sleeve having a raised external wall surface portion which may be of convex or truncated convex configuration with or without depressions or interruptions in its external surface; and, depending on the pull out force required, utilization of a plastic sleeve enabling the use of a crimping ring consisting entirely of a metal ring of substantially uniform diameter with notch portions to engage external protuberances on the outer sleeve of the connector body.

Bulge-type coaxial cable connector with plastic sleeve

Bulge-type cable connector assembly having an external color band

In a coaxial cable connector assembly, having a connector sleeve or retaining end of a coaxial cable and a coupling member between the sleeve and a terminal port to draw the sleeve into engagement with an end of the port, an internal locking device is made up of an annular groove formed along an internally threaded portion of the coupling member and a compressible washer which is pre-assembled in the groove, the coupling member having a male threaded end complementary to the internally threaded portion and washer so that when advanced through the internally threaded portion and washer will increase the torque loading between the coupling member and sleeve to resist accidental loosening or disengagement therebetween. The washer is an endless ring and formed in varying cross-sections for insertion into close-fitting engagement with the groove and may be utilized alone or in combination with seal and spring members at the interface between the male threaded end of the port and the internally threaded portion of the coupling member. In a modified form, an endless compressible liner is employed in place of the washer and groove to resist accidental loosening or disengagement between the post and coupling member.
