Abstract:
1. A connector for a coaxial cable, establishing a physical and electrical connection between a coaxial cable and various kinds of electric members, the coaxial cable including a hollow inner conductor and a corrugated outer conductor surrounding the hollow inner conductor, the connector comprising: a conductive carrier terminal inserted into and contacted with the hollow inner conductor to transmit an electrical signal of the coaxial cable to an electric member; a conductive housing for receiving the conductive carrier terminal therein and for electrically interfacing a coaxial cable with the electric member and coupling the coaxial cable to a ground; and a coupling member for electrically coupling the outer conductor with the housing; an insulator interposed between the carrier terminal and the housing for insulating the carrier terminal from the housing, wherein the conductive carrier terminal has a conductive elastic assembly with an adjustable diameter such that a size of a part of the conductive carrier terminal inserted into the inner conductor corresponds to an inner diameter of the inner conductor, thereby forming a close electrical contact with the conductive carrier terminal irrespective of the inner diameter of the inner conductor.
