Abstract:
A connector assembly, comprising:a cable connector; a conductive contact received in the cable connector; a cable having a forward end which is received in the cable connector, the cable having a central conductor, an insulation layer surrounding the central conductor, a length of the central conductor projecting from the forward end of the insulation layer and electrically connecting with the contact, a braiding layer surrounding the insulation layer, and a cable sheath surrounding the braiding layer, a length of the braiding layer projecting from a forward end of the cable sheath and thereby being exposed; and ferrule elements annularly covering the forward end of the cable, the ferrule elements including an annular insulative first ferrule, an annular metal second ferrule and an annular metal third ferrule, the third ferrule surrounding a rear portion of the exposed braiding layer, a front portion of the exposed braiding layer which extends out from a front of the third ferrule being inverted to cover the third ferrule thereby leaving the insulation layer previously covered by the front portion of the braiding layer exposed, the second ferrule covering the exposed insulation layer and abutting against the inverted braiding layer, and the first ferrule surrounding a rear portion of the exposed central conductor and abutting against a front end of the second ferrule and the exposed insulation layer; wherein the cable connector further comprises a coaxial annular screw extending forward from a sleeve; wherein the screw forms reversed screw threads on an outer surface thereof; wherein the screw has at least one annular dielectric tube located therein and fitting against an inner wall of the screw and the at least one dielectric tube defines a through-hole therein.
