## Abstract

A coaxial cable connector including a body circuit borne by a non-conducting body substrate.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A male F-type coaxial cable connector comprising:
an electrically conductive nut rotatably coupled with a hollow body;
the nut for engaging a ground conductor of a mating port;
the body for receiving a coaxial cable having a central conductor and a surrounding shield conductor;
the body having a non-electrically conductive substrate;
a ground circuit for electrically interconnecting the coaxial cable shield with the port;
the ground circuit including a series connected body circuit;
the body substrate bearing an electrical conductor that is thin as compared to the substrate; and,
the thin electrical conductor includes the body circuit.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The male F-type coaxial cable connector of claim 1 wherein the thin electrical conductor is not a coating.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The male F-type coaxial cable connector of claim 1 wherein the thin electrical conductor is a coating.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The male F-type coaxial cable connector of claim 3 further comprising:
a hollow post for receiving the central conductor;
the post inserted in the body and a post flange inserted in the nut;
an electrical insulating spacer between the post flange and a nut flange; and, the nut in rotatable relationship with the post and the body in fixed relationship with the post.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The male F-type coaxial cable connector of claim 4 further comprising:
an electrically conductive spacer between the nut and the body; and,
the ground circuit including the electrically conductive spacer connected in series.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The male F-type coaxial cable connector of claim 4 further comprising:
a deformable body portion adjacent to the nut; and,
the deformable body portion bearing a portion of the body circuit.
