ABSTRACT:
A connector is disclosed which is to be mounted to a coaxial cable having an internal conductor, an internal insulator, cable outer (or shield) conductor, and a cable outer insulator. The connector comprises a housing formed of a connector outer conductor and a concentric inner contact. The connector outer conductor includes a cylindrical main portion and a rear cover portion. An outer conductor adapter is fixed to the main portion of the connector outer conductor and is adapted for insertion between the internal insulator and the cable outer conductor of the coaxial cable. A sleeve portion, which can include either a single securing member or two securing members to be wrapped about the coaxial cable, is formed integrally with the connector outer conductor. The inner contact is provided at its rear end with a slot into which the internal conductor is to be thrust, and at its forward end with a plurality of slits to provide an elastic firm holding force for holding a mating contact of another cable. An insulating member can be provided on a rear end of the inner contact. The insulating member is frustoconically shaped and includes a tapered groove in its front face to squeeze the rear end of the inner contact so as to positively engage the internal conductor in the slot. Solder can be provided about the internal conductor for more positive contact.
