Coaxial connector with enhanced shielding

An improved male F-Type connector radio frequency shield comprising:

• a post and an electrically conductive nut, the post substantially surrounded by an electrically conductive body;
• a nut partition separates a nut rear cavity and a nut forward cavity, the nut rear cavity bounded at least in part by a nut overhang;
• the nut forward cavity encircles a flange at one end of the post and the nut rear cavity receives a forward mouth of the connector body;
• an electrically conductive bridge having a frustoconical shape and a centerline about coincident with a central axis of the connector;
• the bridge interposed between the forward mouth of the connector body and the nut overhang;
• and,
• the bridge mechanically contacting and thereby electrically interconnecting the nut and the connector body.
