Patent ID: 7497729

Claim:
A mini-coaxial cable connector for mechanically and electrically connecting to a mini-coaxial cable, the mini-coaxial cable including a center conductor, an insulating spacer surrounding the center conductor, at least one layer of braided sheath surrounding the insulating spacer, and an outer sheath surrounding the braided sheath; the mini-coaxial connector comprising: a main body provided at a predetermined position with an annular forward tapered inner wall surface and a plurality of internal screw threads located in a rear portion of the main body; and an adapter for coaxially receiving the mini-coaxial cable therein and including a first tubular section and an interconnecting section; the first tubular section having a forward tapered outer wall surface defining a contiguous annular contour, the forward tapered outer wall surface adapted to tightly fit in the forward tapered inner wall surface of the main body; the interconnecting section being provided with a plurality of external screw threads adapted to mesh with the internal screw threads in the main body; whereby when the adapter is fully screwed into the main body, the forward tapered outer wall surface of the first tubular section of the adapter drives part of the braided sheath of the mini-coaxial cable coaxially received in the adapter against the forward tapered inner wall surface of the main body, giving the mini-coaxial cable in the connector a sufficient pull strength.
