Abstract
A connector for providing an electrical connection to a coaxial cable, the connector comprises a base member adapted to be secured around a coaxial cable, a metal band member formed as part of the base member, and at least one protrusion extending from and unitary with the metal band member for providing electrical contact to a conductor portion of the coaxial cable.
Claims19
A device for providing electrical contact to an outer conductor of a coaxial cable, the outer conductor having bare segments, said device comprising:
- a) a base structure adapted to be tensioned around a coaxial cable, said base structure provided with an interior surface and an exterior surface;
- b) sealing lips operatively associated with said base structure and extending from said interior surface thereof, said sealing lips for providing a seal between said base structure and a coaxial cable when said base structure is tensioned therearound;
- c) a band shaped, electrically conducting contact element attached to said base structure, said band shaped, electrically conducting contact element including at least one resilient, electrically conducting contact protrusion formed integrally therewith and biased to extend beyond said sealing lips so that when said base structure is tensioned around a coaxial cable said resilient, electrically conducting contact protrusion will rest against the bare segments of the coaxial cable and provide electrical contact therewith.
