Coaxial cable continuity connector

A coaxial cable connector for coupling an end of a coaxial cable to an equipment appliance port or terminal, the coaxial cable comprising an inner conductor, a dielectric surrounding the inner conductor, an outer conductor surrounding the dielectric, and a jacket surrounding the outer conductor is disclosed, the coaxial cable connector comprising:

• a body;
• a coupler rotatably attached to the body, the coupler having a lip with a forward facing surface;
• a post secured to the body, wherein the post comprises a first end, a head, a neck, and a second end, and wherein the post has a structural feature;
• and
• a grounding member having an arcuate shape and disposed in and retained by the structural feature between the post and the coupler, wherein the grounding member is resilient and biased toward coupler, and wherein the grounding member establishes an electrical grounding path between the post and the coupler, and wherein the electrical grounding path is maintained between the post and the coupler when the coupler is not tightly fastened to a terminal.
