Abstract:
1. A method for terminating a coaxial cable, the coaxial cable comprising an inner conductor, an insulating layer surrounding the inner conductor, an outer conductor surrounding the insulating layer, and a jacket surrounding the outer conductor, the method comprising the following steps: removing a section of the insulating layer between the outer conductor and the inner conductor so as to create a cored-out section therebetween; increasing a diameter of at least a portion of the outer conductor that overlays a cored-out section of the insulating layer so as to create an increased-diameter cylindrical section of the outer conductor, the increased-diameter cylindrical section having a length that is at least two times a thickness of the outer conductor; inserting at least a portion of an internal connector structure into the cored-out section so as to be surrounded by the increased-diameter cylindrical section; inserting at least a portion of the inner conductor within a conductive pin resulting in an initial contact force between the inner conductor and the conductive pin; and via a single action:
