Abstract

See full text

Coaxial connectors include a connector body and an inner contact post mounted therein. These connectors further include a compression element that is configured to impart a generally circumferential compressive force to secure one or more elements of a coaxial cable between the connector body and the inner contact post, and an internally threaded rotatable nut that is configured for attachment to the connector body. In some embodiments, the nut has a first set of threads and a second set of threads that is immediately adjacent to the first set of threads, where the threads of the second set of threads are configured to provide increased drag and mechanical resistance as compared to threads of the first set of threads when the rotatable nut is threaded onto a female coaxial cable port. In other embodiments, an internal diameter of the threaded portion of the nut varies along the axial direction. In still other embodiments, a bushing is mounted within the threaded region of the nut.
