ABSTRACT:
A coaxial cable tap connector comprises a cable-engaging member having a channel therealong in which a section of a coaxial cable is to be disposed. Outer conductor contact members are located in the cable-engaging member within the channel on each side of a threaded hole, the contact members including post sections disposed within a printed circuit board guide slot of the cable-engaging member. A clamp-retaining member has a movable clamp member disposed therein and is slidably positioned onto the cable-engaging member, the clamp member having a channel for engaging the cable. A driving member is mounted on the clamp-retaining member and engages the clamp member thereby driving the clamp member into clamping engagement with the cable and clamping the cable between the clamp member and the cable-engaging member within the channels thereof. The clamping operation causes the outer conductor contact members to penetrate an outer jacket of the cable and make electrical connection with an outer conductor of the cable. A signal probe assembly is threadably positioned in the threaded hole causing a spring-biased signal probe member to rotatingly penetrate into the cable so that a contact section of the signal probe member makes electrical connection with the center conductor. A post section of the signal probe member is disposed within the printed circuit board guide slot so that it and the post sections of the outer conductor contact members can be electrically connected with electrical contacts on a printed circuit board of a transceiver member to be mounted onto the tap connector.
