Claim:
A push-on connector system, comprising: a male push-on bore including a center conductor pin coaxially mounted in the push-on bore; a female push-on core including a socket coaxially mounted with respect to the push-on core; the male push-on bore configured to receive the female push-on core so the center conductor pin is received in the socket; a second bore configured forwardly of the male push-on bore, said second bore being of a larger diameter than the male push-on bore; a latch track positioned in the second bore and forming a plurality of inclined latch surfaces ending in respective detents; a movable collar mounted rearwardly of the female push-on core and including a plurality of bayonet pins mounted thereon, the movable collar configured for engaging the second bore when the male push-on bore receives the female push-on core and being rotatable and axially slidable with respect to the female push-on core when engaging the second bore; the bayonet pins sliding along the inclined latch surfaces when the collar is rotated to axially drive the movable collar into the second bore and secure the female push-on core into the male push-on bore, the bayonet pins resting in the detents to lock the movable collar in the second bore; a resilient member coupled between the movable collar and female push-on core, the resilient member biasing the female push-on core into the male push-on bore when the movable collar is axially driven into the second bore.
