ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for coupling to a coax cable of the type having an inner conductor enclosed in an inner concentric insulation and having a generally concentric conductive sheath therearound and an outer insulation enclosing the conductive sheath. The connector has a housing having an electrically conductive portion and a bore therein. An electrically conductive pin or prong has one end protruding axially into the housing bore and the second prong end extending in an opposite direction within a second housing bore. One or more conductive clamps are electrically connected to the conductive housing portion and insulated from the electrical conductive prong and has pointed ends sized for driving the clamp into the outer insulation and into the conductive sheath without contacting the center conductor. A housing cap has an annular wedging member for driving the conductive clamps pointed ends into the outer insulation and into the conductive sheath for making electrical contact therewith and for holding the coax cable within the connector. When the coax cable is slid into the connector, the center conductor is driven onto the conductive prong extending axially into the bore of the housing and the housing cap member is threaded onto a threaded portion of the housing so that the connector can be removed by unscrewing the cap member from the housing. The connector may be of the type for attaching to an apparatus, such as attaching an antenna of a television set.
