Patent ID: 7261581

Claim:
A coaxial connector for attachment to a coaxial cable, the coaxial cable including an outer conductor, the outer conductor of the coaxial cable having a predetermined outer diameter, and the outer conductor of the coaxial cable having an inner surface and an opposing outer surface, the coaxial connector comprising: an outer terminal having front and back opposing ends, the back end of said outer terminal including a first angled contact face integral with said outer terminal; and a back nut releasably attachable to the back end of said outer terminal and extending around the back end of said outer terminal, and axially displaceable with respect to said outer terminal, the back nut including a second angled contact face integral with said back nut, the back nut including an internal bore extending therethrough for allowing passage of the coaxial cable therethrough, at least a portion of the internal bore having a predetermined internal diameter commensurate with the predetermined outer diameter of the cuter conductor of the coaxial cable, wherein said first angled contact face and said second angled contact face form a clamping site therebetween, said clamping site being tightened as said back nut is axially displaced with respect to said outer terminal, wherein said first angled contact face has a length that is shorter than said predetermined internal diameter, and wherein said second angled contact face has a length that is shorter than said predetermined internal diameter, said first angled contact face directly engaging the inner surface of the outer conductor of the coaxial cable, and said second angled contact face directly engaging the outer surface of the outer conductor of the coaxial cable, and wherein the coaxial cable includes an inner conductor having an outer surface, and wherein the coaxial connector includes an inner terminal adapted to engage the outer surface of the inner conductor of the coaxial cable.
