ABSTRACT:
The method and system of the present invention provide an improved "F" port interface connector is provided having increased ampacity and greater reliability. The "F" port interface connector includes a generally cylindrical port having an insulative dielectric sleeve mounted therein. An electrically conductive spring contact is mounted within the dielectric sleeve. The spring contact includes two elongate elastically bendable conductive leaves which are mounted in a slightly mutually skewed relationship and each leaf includes a medial mating surface and a cam surface at one end. Each conductive leaf also includes a generally perpendicular conductive wing which is offset from the centerline of the leaf and disposed opposite a corresponding wing on the second leaf, such that upon insertion of a conductive wire between two cam surfaces and two generally perpendicular conductive wings the conductive leaves are simultaneously forced apart and toward longitudinal alignment, causing a lateral wiping action and increased electrical contact.
