Abstract:
1. A coaxial connector for attachment to a coaxial cable, the coaxial cable having a center conductor and a dielectric insulator surrounding the center conductor, the coaxial connector having a first end and a second end, the connector comprising: a main body having a first end and a second end and an internal surface extending between the first end and the second end, the internal surface defining a longitudinal opening, the main body also having a first opening at the first end and a second opening at the second end, each opening having a longitudinal axis therethrough, the longitudinal axis of the first opening being generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the second opening; an insulating member disposed in the longitudinal opening of the main body, the insulating member having a first end, a second end, and an opening extending between the first and second ends of the insulating member; a pin extending substantially along the opening of the insulating member, the pin having a first end and a second end, each end having a longitudinal axis therethrough, the longitudinal axis of the first end of the pin being generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the second end of the pin; wherein the pin is capable of moving along the opening of the insulating member from a first position, in which the second end of the pin does not extend beyond the second end of the connector, to a second position, in which the second end of the pin extends beyond the second end of the connector, in response to insertion of the coaxial cable into the first end of the connector.
