ABSTRACT:
A solderless prong connector for permanent mounting on the end of a coaxial shielded cable of the type having an inner conductor surrounded by an inner dielectric sleeve in turn surrounded by a tubular braided conductor in turn surrounded by an outer dielectric sleeve. The connector has an electrically conductive tubular body member passed over the coaxial cable, the body member being provided with an enlarged inner diameter portion on one end in which is press-fitted a dielectric tubular plug wedging the cable outer dielectric sleeve and tubular braided conductor between the peripheral surface of the plug and the inner surface of the enlarged diameter bore of the conductive body member, with the end portion of the tubular braided conductor engaged with a portion of such bore surface. The cable inner conductor, having its end exposed, and the inner dielectric sleeve covering the inner conductor are disposed in a longitudinal bore in the plug, and a prong is press-fitted in the tubular plug bore such as to wedge the exposed end of the inner conductor between the peripheral surface of the prong and the inner surface of the plug bore, thus providing secure mechanical and electrical connections and forming water-tight seals. A coaxially disposed threaded collar engaging a shoulder portion of the conductive tubular body member fastens the plug to an appropriate coaxial female receptacle and provides electrical continuity between the cable braided conductor and the female receptacle housing.
