Claim:
1. A coaxial cable-connector assembly, comprising: (a) a coaxial cable comprising: an inner conductor extending in a first longitudinal axis and having a termination end, the termination end including a bore; a dielectric layer that overlies the inner conductor; and an outer conductor that overlies the dielectric layer having a termination end; and (b) a right angle coaxial connector comprising: an inner conductor body comprising a post configured to mate with the inner conductor body of a mating coaxial cable jack, the inner conductor body further including a receptacle at one end that receives the termination end of the inner conductor such that the post is generally perpendicular to the inner conductor; an outer conductor body configured to mate with the outer conductor body of the mating coaxial cable jack, the outer conductor body being electrically connected with the termination end of the outer conductor; and an expansion member inserted into the bore of the termination end of the inner conductor from a direction opposite with a direction of the first longitudinal axis, the expansion member being sized and configured to radially expand the termination end of the inner conductor to form press fit joint between the inner conductor and the receptacle.
