Abstract:
A connector for a coaxial cable, said coaxial cable including a conductor, an insulator around said conductor, a braid around said insulator, and a sheath around said braid, comprising:a terminal provided with a connection hole into which said conductor of said coaxial cable is inserted for electrical connection with said terminal;an insulating terminal holder including a holder body for receipt therein of said terminal and a pair of opposed first and second lids provided at one end of said holder body at a side wherefrom said terminal is received into said holder body, said first lid, when closed, locking said terminal in said holder; anda conductive shield cover including a substantially half cylinder shaped cover body detachably mounted on said terminal holder inclusive of said first lid in said closed position and a holding means provided at one end of said cover body toward said coaxial cable,said connection hole of said terminal and said holding means being longitudinally aligned with each other and said conductive shield cover being configured to allow said second lid to be open, when said cover body is mounted on said terminal holder,wherein when said coaxial cable is advanced toward said terminal, after said terminal is locked in said holder body by said first lid and said shield cover is mounted on said terminal holder, said conductor is inserted into said connection hole of said terminal and said braid is located on said holding means so as to position said conductor relative to said terminal and said braid relative to said shield cover at one time, and said second lid is then closed to cooperate with said first lid to hold said insulator therebetween.
