Abstract
A coaxial cable seizure assembly includes a stamped conductor with a leaf spring receptacle portion to provide a coaxial cable connection inside an HFC network device, such as an HFC node or amplifier. The stamped conductor portion is stamped from a single piece of metal and is located in an insulator portion. The insulator portion may be located inside a housing of the HFC network device adjacent a coaxial cable port such that the leaf spring receptacle portion is aligned with and receives a coaxial cable center conductor pin of a coaxial cable connected to the port. In one embodiment, a coaxial cable seizure assembly further includes a pin portion formed from the same piece of metal as the leaf spring receptacle. In another embodiment, a PCB-mounted coaxial cable seizure assembly further includes a PCB mounting portion formed from the same piece of metal as the leaf spring receptacle.
