ABSTRACT:
A rotating collar lock connector for terminating the end of a coaxial cable in which all of the metal parts therein are either stamped and formed or drawn, as opposed to being machined. Further, since no solder is required and since assembly is accomplished entirely from one direction the connector can be assembled at a single rotary type assembly machine. The connector comprises a rear metal sleeve which receives the coaxial cable at a first end thereof. A rotatable metal collar has a flanged first end which is slipped over the first sleeve from the second end thereof until it abuts against protuberances formed on the surface of the first sleeve near said first end. A metal spring means, such as a spring washer, is then slipped over the first sleeve up to said collar flange. The flanged first end of a second metal sleeve is then press fitted over the second end of the first sleeve and against the spring washer to lock the collar on the first sleeve in such a manner that the spring washer provides a spring bias between the flanges of the collar and the second sleeve. A cylindrically-shaped dielectric spacer having a concentric aperture extending therethrough is then press fitted within the first and second sleeves. A generally cylindrical male terminal is then crimped around the stripped center conductor of the cable and subsequently press fitted into the aperture in the dielectric spacer of the connector. The cable braid is secured around the first end of the first sleeve by means of a metal ring which is crimped therearound.
