Patent ID: 8277249

Claim:
A contact for coaxial cable that is attached to an end of a coaxial cable including: an inner conductor disposed in a central portion; a dielectric body that covers the inner conductor; braided wire that covers the dielectric body; and a sheath that covers the braided wire, the contact comprising: a contact part that is connected to a contact of a corresponding part; and an elongated connection part that extends from a base end portion of the contact part and is connected to the end of the coaxial cable, wherein the connection part includes: a conductor barrel that is disposed on a side to the base end portion of the contact part and open in a U-shape that can crimp the inner conductor; an open crimp barrel that is adjacent to the conductor barrel and open in a U-shape that can crimp an exposed portion of the dielectric body so as to surround the exposed portion of the dielectric body in a cylindrical shape; and a junction band that is narrow in width and joins a part of an end edge of the conductor barrel with a part of an end edge of the open crimp barrel so as to form a bridge, and wherein the junction band is formed such that both end portions thereof are tearable during or after crimping of the conductor barrel and the open crimp barrel, so as to separate the conductor barrel and the open crimp barrel.
