Abstract
A coaxial cable female connector for inclusion in a port of a device or outer shell of a cable connector, includes a centrally located female pin within a pin carrier, the pin has an upper portion with two opposing resilient arms configured for receiving the central pin of a mating male connector. A non-electrically conductive cap is partially covered with an electrically conductive coating, and configured for seating upon said pin carrier, and for maintaining a ground or electrical connection between a shell of a male connector mated to a shell of the female connector, even if the male connector mating to the female connector loosens.
