HARDLINE CONNECTOR HAVING A SEIZING MANDREL PORTION STRUCTURALLY CONFIGURED TO PROVIDE ENHANCED ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL CONNECTIVITY

Abstract: a connector includes: a first body portion; a second body portion configured to be connected to the first body portion; and a mandrel. the mandrel may comprise a seizure portion and a tubular portion; the seizure portion may have a cantilevered engagement portion structurally configured to physically engage a retention portion of the second body portion; the tubular portion may be structurally configured to position a center conductor portion of a cable in electrical contact with a conductive pin portion; and the conductive pin portion may be structurally configured to engage a female port while the cantilevered engagement portion and retention portion collectively resist rotation of the mandrel and center conductor portion relative to the second body portion to enhance longevity of an electrical connection.
