Abstract:
1. An insulator supporting an inner contact coaxial within a connector body bore of a coaxial cable connector for coaxial cable with a solid outer conductor, the insulator comprising: a monolithic body with an inner contact bore extending between a connector end and a cable end; the inner contact bore dimensioned to receive the inner contact; an outer diameter of the insulator at the connector end configured to mate with the connector body bore of the coaxial cable connector; a plurality of spring fingers extending from the cable end of the insulator; distal ends of the spring fingers each provided with a ramp surface, whereby upon insertion into the connector body bore, the solid outer conductor contacts the spring fingers along the ramp surfaces, deflecting the spring fingers inward to increase inward bias upon a spring basket of the inner contact.
