Claim:
A tool-free coaxial connector for mechanically and electrically connecting a coaxial cable to a device, the coaxial cable including a central conductor, an insulating spacer wrapping the central conductor, an outer conductor located around the insulating spacer, and a sheath coated on the outer conductor; the tool-free coaxial connector comprising: an inner sleeve and an outer sleeve, the inner and outer sleeves being coaxially assembled to each other for accommodating the coaxial cable therein, such that the central conductor and the insulating spacer of the coaxial cable are received in the inner sleeve while the outer conductor and the sheath of the coaxial cable are positioned between the inner and outer sleeves; and a slide collar slidably connected to the outer sleeve, the slide collar including a tubular main body having a first end and a second end, the second end of the tubular main body being formed with an inner flange, whereby by pulling the slide collar to a predetermined position, the inner flange of the slide collar can tightly bind the sheath of the cable to securely connect the slide collar to the cable.
