Abstract:
1. A coaxial connector for use with a coaxial cable with an outer conductor, comprising: a connector body provided with a connector body bore; an annular coupling groove provided in the connector body bore open to a cable end of the connector body; a compression sidewall angled outward from the bottom of the coupling groove; a clamp sidewall of the coupling groove angled inward from a bottom of the coupling groove; a slip ring seated within the connector body bore, provided with a plurality of coupling spring fingers extending towards a connector end of the slip ring, an inner diameter of the coupling spring fingers provided with a grip surface; and an annular compression body between the coupling spring fingers and the clamp sidewall; the connector body and the coupling body coupled together via threads; the slip ring dimensioned for axial advancement of the coupling body along the threads to exert a compression force against the compression body to clamp a leading edge of the outer conductor between the compression body and the clamp sidewall; the coupling spring fingers driven radially inward toward the clamp sidewall by contact with the compression sidewall.
