Abstract:
1. A coaxial cable connector for a coaxial cable comprising a inner conductor, a dielectric layer surrounding the inner conductor, and an outer conductor surrounding the dielectric layer, the coaxial cable connector comprising: a connector housing defining a radially outer ramp portion; an insulator member in said connector housing and defining a radially inner ramp portion aligned with said radially outer ramp portion; and a back nut defining an opposing ramp opposite at least said radially outer ramp portion so that said radially inner and outer ramp portions flare an end of the outer conductor as the coaxial cable is advanced into said connector housing, and so that at least said radially outer ramp portion cooperates with said opposing ramp to clamp the flared end of the outer conductor therebetween.
