TORQUE LIMITING CLAMP FOR HELICAL OUTER CONDUCTOR CABLES

An RF connector that has a main body, a clamp, and a cap. The connector has an internal torque limiting mechanism that enables the connector to be installed in the field such that the connector is correctly positioned at the axial stop point of the RF cable during insertion. This is enabled by an in...

Zusammenfassung:An RF connector that has a main body, a clamp, and a cap. The connector has an internal torque limiting mechanism that enables the connector to be installed in the field such that the connector is correctly positioned at the axial stop point of the RF cable during insertion. This is enabled by an internal preloaded cap/seal interface that requires a predetermined breakaway torque to cause the cap to rotate relative to the clamp. The breakaway torque is less than a torque that would be required to over-install the connector.
