Abstract
Abstract The invention resides in a T-shaped coaxial BNC-type connector which includes a conductive housing which is connected to shields for coaxial cable for shielding conductors in the cable. The connector housing is selectively coated with an insulative material so that when empolyed in a connector assembly in assembled form, inadvertent separate external grounds which may disrupt the shield are avoided.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
87 words
In a coaxial cable terminating coaxial connector of the type having a conductive outer housing for grounding the outer housing to a shield of the cable to provide shielding for conductors of the cable, the improvement wherein said connector is selectively coated on a portion of the outer housing which is exposed when the connector is connected to a coaxial cable, with a non-conductive material for preventing inadvertent electrical contact with other systems or earth grounds whereby undesired ground loops and detrimental effects on shielding are avoided.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
87 words
