Abstract:
1. A connector for a coaxial cable, the coaxial cable having a center conductor surrounded by a dielectric material, the dielectric surrounded by a conductive foil sheath, the connector comprising: a connector body having a first end and a second end, the connector body extending along a longitudinal axis and having defined therein an internal passageway; and, an insulator disposed within the internal passageway, the insulator having an insulator passageway configured to receive the center conductor, the insulator further having an insulator first end and an insulator second end, the insulator first end having a guide surface defined thereon, wherein insertion of the coaxial cable into the internal passageway causes the guide surface to engage the dielectric and radially divert the conductive foil sheath away from the center conductor.
