- H01R9/05—Connectors arranged to contact a plurality of the conductors of a multiconductor cable, e.g. tapping connections for coaxial cables
Definitions
- the first type of cable (Type-I) includes a center conductor surrounded by a dielectric, a rigid outer conductive wall defining a shielding means surrounding the dielectric and a protective jacket surrounding the outer wall.
- the protective jacket is polyethylene and is bonded to a thin outer wall such that the jacket cannot be removed or stripped from the outer wall without damaging the thin wall.
- connection or termination point Such cables are generally exposed to the harshest of outdoor environments at the connection or termination point. Such conditions include temperature changes, of 100°F or more within a 24 hour period. Additionally, the connection or termination must be able to withstand rain, ice, snow, extreme heat and cold, ultraviolet radiation, oxidation, pollution and salt spray without damage.
- a preferred embodiment of the coupling for either Type-I or Type-II cables includes the coupling having a stop means fqr preventing over interengageme ⁇ t or over- or under-tightening of the driver means to the connector body.
- the stop means for Type-I comprises the driver means having a rear face and the connector body having a front face. When driver means is fully interconnected with the connector body, the faces of each are flush, the coupling is fully sealed and further tightening is discouraged.
