Push-on coaxial connector

1. A connector is a push-on male F-type coaxial connector comprising:

a housing and a post coaxially arranged about and extending along an x-x axis;

the housing including an aperture opposite a cable clamp;

the aperture for receiving a coaxial connector port;

between the aperture and the cable clamp, a collar;

between the aperture and the collar, an elastomeric port grip;

the cable clamp for receiving a coaxial cable, the collar for irrotatably receiving a post neck and the elastomeric port grip for receiving resilient post end bell fingers; and,

the resilient post end bell fingers for spreading when receiving the coaxial connector port and the elastomeric port grip for resisting spreading of the resilient post end bell fingers.

2. The connector of claim 1 further comprising a seal near the aperture for sealing around a port inserted through the aperture.

3. The connector of claim 2 wherein the seal includes threads for threadingly engaging a threaded port.

4. The connector of claim 1 further comprising:

first a3 and second a4 elastomeric port grip wall thicknesses.

5. The connector of claim 4 wherein along the x-x axis, an elastomeric port grip diameter increases toward the cable clamp.

6. The connector of claim 4 wherein along the x-x axis, an elastomeric port grip diameter decreases toward the cable clamp.

7. The connector of claim 4 wherein where a3<a4 and a ratio of a4 to a3 is greater than 1.1 to 1 but less than 2.5 to 1.

8. The connector of claim 7 wherein a first port grip wall thickness is measured between projections of the elastomeric port grip and a second port grip wall thickness is measured through a projection of the elastomeric port grip.

9. The connector of claim 8 wherein there are two projections.

10. The connector of claim 9 wherein the projections have a somewhat triangular shape such that a triangle vertex is located near the aperture.

11. The connector of claim 9 wherein the projections have a somewhat triangular shape such that a triangle vertex points toward the cable clamp.

12. The connector of claim 1 wherein the cable clamp includes an end cap for engaging a can.

13. The connector of claim 12 further including a wedge carried by the end cap, the wedge for wedging between the can and a coaxial cable inserted in the connector.

14. The connector of claim 13 wherein the end cap has a multisided cross-section such as a hexagon, the end cap for engaging and for compressing the can.

15. The connector of claim 14 further including elastomeric port grip wall portions that provide an interference fit with the end bell.

16. The connector of claim 15 further including an interference fit between the collar and a post neck.
