Abstract
A grounding electrical connector includes: an inner sleeve and an outer sleeve coaxially positioned around the inner sleeve, the inner sleeve serving to receive the central conductor and the insulator of the cable, the outer sleeve serving to receive the external conductor and the skin of the cable, the inner sleeve having an outer flange, an interface section, a tapered section positioned between the outer flange and the interface section, and a rear end extension section; a nut having an inner flange positioned around the tapered section of the inner sleeve; and a C-shaped contact spring back and forth movably arranged around the tapered section of the inner sleeve in contact with the nut. The C-shaped contact spring is back and forth movable to keep the nut in contact with the inner sleeve so as to achieve good grounding effect.
