ABSTRACT:
An insulation-piercing connector for coaxial cables comprises a base member and a complementary bracket member together defining a conduit for a coaxial cable. The base member and the bracket member are adapted to be separated to fit around a coaxial cable and to be clamped together to immobilize the coaxial cable in the conduit. The base member is also adapted to enable it to be attached to a support. A bearing surface on the base member bears on the support when the base member is attached to the support. Terminals on the base member project beyond the bearing surface. Connecting spikes project from the base member and pierce the coaxial cable to connect its inner and outer conductors to respective terminals. A guide transverse to the conduit opens into the conduit and externally of the base member. The connecting spike adapted to connect the inner conductor of the coaxial cable to the respective terminal is removably housed in this guide. An inner conductor connecting spike locating guide on the base member is disposed obliquely to the bearing surface and opens externally of the base member above the bearing surface and laterally of the bracket member. The inner conductor connecting spike can therefore be inserted and removed even when the connector is attached to a support by its base member.
