Abstract:
A connector for a coaxial cable, the cable comprising an inner conductor, the connector comprising:a main body having an outer surface and an inner surface defining a generally cylindrical main body chamber; a tubular support member disposed within the main body chamber and having an inner surface defining a generally cylindrical tubular support member chamber; a center terminal member disposed within the inner tubular member chamber, the center terminal member comprising a sleeve portion having an open end adapted to receive the inner conductor of the cable; an axially movable tubular member disposed within the main body chamber; and a tubular outer bushing having one end adapted to receive the coaxial cable and an opposite end capable of engaging the main body, wherein the tubular outer bushing is capable of axially displacing the axially movable tubular member within the main body chamber; wherein relative axial movement between the main body and the tubular outer bushing causes the axially movable tubular member to deflect the sleeve portion of the center terminal member radially inwardly, thereby causing the sleeve portion to engage the inner conductor of the terminal.
