A connector for terminating a coaxial cable having an outer insulating layer , a conductive shield , an inner insulating layer , and a center core , the connector comprising: a compressible fitting having an inner passage to receive a portion of the cable, the compressible fitting also having a threaded outer wall coaxial with and surrounding the inner passage, the outer wall including a first slot extending radially through the outer wall, the first slot further extending axially away from a first end of the outer wall; a crimp nut configured to thread onto the outer wall of the compressible fitting, the crimp nut being operable axially between a first position and a second position, the crimp nut further configured, in the first position, not to constrict the inner passage and, in the second position, to radially compress the outer wall of the compressible fitting to reduce a bore diameter of the inner passage and to electrically connect the outer wall with the conductive shield of the portion of the cable received in the inner passage of the compressible fitting, in which the portion of the cable received in the inner passage of the compressible fitting is inserted into a first end of the inner passage; a connector body , the compressible fitting being at a first end of the connector body, and a second end of the connector body being configured to join with a mating coaxial connector ; characterised in that the connector further comprises, a contact receptacle at a second end of the inner passage to receive , within the inner passage, the center core of the portion of the coaxial cable and to establish solderless electrical contact with the center core; and a pin contact in electrical contact with the contact receptacle and extending axially away from the contact receptacle. a compressible fitting having an inner passage to receive a portion of the cable, the compressible fitting also having a threaded outer wall coaxial with and surrounding the inner passage, the outer wall including a first slot extending radially through the outer wall, the first slot further extending axially away from a first end of the outer wall; a crimp nut configured to thread onto the outer wall of the compressible fitting, the crimp nut being operable axially between a first position and a second position, the crimp nut further configured, in the first position, not to constrict the inner passage and, in the second position, to radially compress the outer wall of the compressible fitting to reduce a bore diameter of the inner passage and to electrically connect the outer wall with the conductive shield of the portion of the cable received in the inner passage of the compressible fitting, in which the portion of the cable received in the inner passage of the compressible fitting is inserted into a first end of the inner passage; a connector body , the compressible fitting being at a first end of the connector body, and a second end of the connector body being configured to join with a mating coaxial connector ; characterised in that the connector further comprises, a contact receptacle at a second end of the inner passage to receive , within the inner passage, the center core of the portion of the coaxial cable and to establish solderless electrical contact with the center core; and a pin contact in electrical contact with the contact receptacle and extending axially away from the contact receptacle. <EOS>
