A coaxial cable connector includes a body configured to engage a coaxial cable having a conductive electrical grounding property, a post configured to engage the body and the coaxial cable when the connector is installed on the coaxial cable, and a non-threaded coupler coupled with the body and the post. The coupler is configured to engage an interface port at a retention force, and the non-threaded coupler houses a spring basket that bow radially inward relative to an internal surface of the threaded coupler so as to engage an interface port in order to provide an electrical ground connection between the interface port and the coupler.

Push-on coaxial cable connectors having port grounding

A nut assembly for a coaxial cable connector includes a nut configured to engage an interface port and a cap encircling the nut. The nut includes an internal threaded portion configured to engage external threads of the interface port and at least one resilient finger extending in an axial direction from the internal threaded portion toward a forward end of the nut. The forward end includes a tooth extending radially inward, the tooth is configured to contact a surface of a thread of the external threads when the nut is coupled to the interface port, and the tooth is configured to provide ground continuity between the nut and the interface port before the internal threaded portion of the nut is coupled with the external threads. The internal threaded portion and the external threads are configured to provide a retention force between the nut and the interface port.

Coaxial cable connectors having port grounding

A coaxial cable connector includes a body configured to engage a coaxial cable having a conductive electrical grounding property, a post configured to engage the body and the coaxial cable when the connector is installed on the coaxial cable, a nut configured to engage an interface port at a retention force, and a retention adding element configured to increase the retention force between the nut and the interface port so as to maintain ground continuity between the interface port and the nut when the nut is in a loosely tightened position on the interface port.
