Abstract:
A coaxial cable connector, comprising:a conductive outer shell having a mating section and a cylindrical sleeve; the cylindrical sleeve having a cable receiving end; and an annular projection positioned on the cable receiving end of the cylindrical sleeve and having a larger external diameter than a remainder of the cylindrical sleeve; wherein when a crimping die is applied to the cylindrical sleeve, the crimping die first contacts the annular projection, causing the annular projection to bend inward into an interior of the cylindrical sleeve so that the annular projection contacts a ferrule having a smaller diameter than a diameter of the cylindrical sleeve and positioned inside the cable receiving end of the cylindrical sleeve over an exposed outer conduct of a coaxial cable to push the ferrule forward and toward the mating section to create a forward bias within the cylindrical sleeve.
