ABSTRACT:
A self clamping connector 10 for a radio frequency coaxial cable having a helically corrugated outer conductor 14 which does not require flaring of the outer conductor of the cable is disclosed. The connector includes a clamping back nut 30 having a plurality of resilient fingers 32 at one end. Each of the resilient fingers 32 have an outer conductor matching threaded portion 38. A cup shaped collet 40, further including a base 42 having an opening 44 therein, is positioned over the resilient fingers 32 to clamp the fingers 32 onto the helically corrugated outer conductor. The cup shaped collet 40 also enables the connector to collapse part of the outer conductor corrugation. The collapsed corrugation is held between the collet and the resilient fingers. A body 50, having threading to enable coupling to the clamping back nut 30, forces the cup shaped collet to remain over the resilient fingers when the connector is in the assembled state.
