Abstract:
A connecting element for a coaxial high-frequency cable that has an inner conductor, a dielectric that surrounds the inner conductor and a tubular outer conductor that is concentric to the inner conductor, whereby an end of the outer conductor is widened in a cone shape to create an encircling contact surface, said connecting element comprising a jack that has (i) an encircling projection with a conical outside surface that is designed to come into contact with an inner surface of the contact surface of the outer conductor, and (ii) a tubular segment that surrounds the outer conductor in a operating position, and said connecting element further including an axially movable contact sleeve that on one end has an encircling inner surface that is widened in a shape of a cone and is designed so that it comes into contact with the outside surface of the contact surface of the outer conductor, whereby the contact sleeve can be pressed by a rotational movement of the jack against the contact surface of the outer conductor, characterized in that:the outside surface of the contact sleeve (12) also is conical, anda compression jack (13) that surrounds the contact sleeve (12), the compression jack having a conically widened inner surface and being movable in the axial direction, the conically inner surface of the compression jack (13) being designed to make contact with the outer surface of the contact sleeve (12), wherein said inner surface of said compression jack can be pressed by the rotational movement of the jack (6) against the contact surface (5) of the outer conductor (3).
