Abstract:
A coaxial connector for mechanically and electrically connecting a coaxial cable to an electronic device comprising:a) a connector main body having: i) a first extending portion; ii) a second extending portion, the first extending portion and the second extending portion being at opposing ends thereof; iii) a first hole through a center thereof; iv) a second hole through a center thereof; v) and a third hole through a center thereof, the first hole being in the first extending portion, the third hole being in the second extending portion, the second hole being between the first hole and the third hole, the second hole being a larger diameter than the first hole, the third hole being a larger diameter than the second hole; vi) a plurality of circular ribs being formed at a distal end of the third hole; vii) an outward flange formed on an external surface of the connector main body between the first extending portion and the second extending portion; and viii) an arched shoulder extending around an outer circumference of the first extending portion; b) a connecting member having a inward flange at a first end for engaging the outward flange of the connector main body and internal threads at a second end; c) a retaining member having: i) an inner drill hole, the first extending portion of the connector main body being inserted into the inner drill hole; ii) a first ring end portion having external threads, the first ring end portion being threadly connected to the connecting member; iii) a second ring end portion having external threads, the first ring end portion and the second ring end portion being at opposing ends thereof; and iv) a hexagon body portion on the outer circumference thereof; d) a ring sleeve having a big diameter portion at opposing ends thereof and a small diameter portion between the big diameter portions, the interior of the small diameter portion having a plurality of saw teeth, the ring sleeve being positioned within the third hole of the connector main body; e) a columnar member having a flange end portion and a tube interface portion for forcibly engaging an aluminum shield body of the coaxial cable, the outer diameter of the of the tube interface portion being smaller than the outer diameter of the flange end portion, the flange end portion being fitly inserted into the second hole of the connector main body, the tube interface portion being inserted into ring sleeve; f) a ring supporting seat having a through hole and being inserted into the second hole of the connector main body; and g) a tube sleeve having a contacting core portion at a first end and an insert cotter having an insert cotter hole seat at a second end, the tube sleeve being inserted into the hole in the ring support seat such that a central conductor of the coaxial cable is inserted into the insert cotter hole seat, such that a compression force applied to the second extending portion will force the small diameter portion of the ring sleeve to tightly engage the tube interface portion with the aluminum shield body of the coaxial cable there between and the plurality of rib rings of the second extending portion to securely engage an external cover of the coaxial cable.
