Spring-biased connector mounting assembly

Abstract

A connector mounting assembly for receiving and holding a connector at an end of a conducting cable. The connector assembly includes a support member and a spring-biased device, wherein the spring-biased device is spaced opposite from the support member a sufficient distance to receive the connector therebetween. Advantageously, the spring-biased device urges the connector against the support member so as to retain the connector without the use of separate fasteners or screws. In another aspect, the connector assembly may include a retaining member that is also spaced opposite the spring-biased device and includes a retaining edge that extends between a pair of shoulders of the connector so as to restrain axial motion of the connector. The connector mounting assembly is particularly suited to securing bulky and heavy connectors at the end of triaxial telecommunications cables.
