ABSTRACT:
A coaxial cable connector for providing an electrical connection to a conductor of a coaxial cable, the conductor being surrounded by an insulating member. The connector comprises an elongated longitudinally extending sleeve member for arrangement coaxially about the insulating member. The longitudinally extending sleeve member includes a tongue member which is adapted to bend on a bending axis, which is transverse to the longitudinal direction of the sleeve member. The tongue member has a pair of spaced insulation piercing tines which are spaced apart less than the diameter of the conductor to be engaged. The pair of tines thus define a slot which is adapted to receive the conductor. In this manner, when the tongue member is bent along the transverse bending axis, the insulation piercing tines traverse the insulation and pass on opposite longitudinal sides of the conductor so that the conductor is received within the slot and engaged by the tines to make electrical contact with the conductor. Such a coaxial cable connector may be used for providing electrical connection to either the inner conductor of a coaxial cable or the outer annular conductor arranged about the insulation surrounding the inner conductor.
