ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for automatically terminating signals in distribution equipment is provided, particularly in the form of a tap housing containing the F-port connector installed in a CATV system. The connector includes a cylindrical outer conductor for attachment to a housing of the distribution equipment which contains a pcb, a conductor of a coaxial cable being connectable to said outer conductor; an inner resilient conductor member contained in the outer conductor and connectable to an electrical circuit when contacting the pcb, a conductor of a coaxial cable being connectable to the inner resilient conductor member; and signal terminating means comprising a resistor operatively associated with the resilient conductor member and the pcb whereby an electrical circuit may be selectively opened and closed to automatically terminate the signals when the inner resilient conductor member has contact with the pcb.
