ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for terminating flexible coaxial cable is provided. The flexible coaxial cable includes an inner conductor, an intermediate dielectric, an outer flexible braided conductor and an outer insulator. A bored interface body has a first end with a first bore of relatively large inner diameter, a second end with a second bore of relatively smaller inner diameter than the first bore, and a third bore located therebetween of relatively smaller inner diameter than the second bore. A coupling member is located proximate to the interface body. An annular locking member having an inner diameter sized to receive the coaxial cable therein, an outer diameter sized to fit tightly within the first bore of the interface body, a first end having a collar and a second end having a plurality of ribs disposed proximate thereto is provided. This configuration allows for insertion of the second end of the locking member within the first bore of the interface body, so that the ribs of the locking member frictionally engage the inner wall of the first bore to lock the locking member to the interface body.
