Abstract:
A coaxial cable connector for terminating the end of a coaxial cable, the coaxial cable having a center conductor and an outer conductor, the coaxial cable also including an outer insulating jacket, the coaxial cable connector comprising in combination:a. a main body having first and second opposing ends, the first end having a conductive pin extending therefrom, and the second end having external threads formed thereon;b. a slotted tube in electrical communication with the conductive pin and supported within said main body for receiving a bared center conductor of a coaxial cable;c. an axially displaceable insulating member disposed within the main body for selectively compressing the slotted tube;d. a collar having first and second ends, the first end of the collar having internal threads formed therein for mating with the external threads on the second end of the main body;e. a ferrule rotatably disposed within the collar, the ferrule having first and second opposing ends and having a central bore for receiving the outer conductor and outer isolating jacket of the coaxial cable, the first end of the ferrule extending into the second end of the main body as the collar is threaded onto the main body, and the first end of the ferrule non-rotatably engaging the second end of the main body in locking engagement as the collar is threaded onto the main body, whereby the ferrule and the coaxial cable are prevented from rotating relative to the main body.
