Abstract
A compressible F-connector and method for interconnection with coaxial cable that includes a biasing grommet for promoting electrical continuity despite inadequate nut tightening. Each connector has a rigid nut, a post penetrating the nut, a tubular body, and an end cap. The conductive post coaxially extends through the connector, linking the nut and body. A post end penetrates the coaxial cable. Each connector body comprises a frontal annular groove in which is seated a biasing grommet with projections extending from one or both grommet ends that bias the nut to insure mechanical and electrical contact with the post. In one embodiment of the invention the projections are semicircular. In alternative embodiments the projections may be triangular or square, and projections on one grommet end may be radially offset from projections on the opposite end.
