Patent ID: 7824215

Claim:
A coaxial connector with a connector end and a cable end for coupling with a coaxial cable with a solid outer conductor, the connector comprising: a connector body provided with a connector body bore; an annular ramp surface proximate the cable end of the connector body; a connector body mounting surface proximate the cable end of the connector body; a back body provided with a back body bore; a back body mounting surface proximate the connector end of the back body, the back body mounting surface dimensioned to couple with the connector body mounting surface via axial compression; a grip ring seated in a grip groove formed within the back body bore proximate an outer conductor section of the back body bore; the grip ring provided with an outer conductor gripping feature dimensioned to grip an outer diameter of the outer conductor the gripping feature provided with an angled surface enabling passage of the outer conductor from the cable end to the connector end but gripping the outer conductor when outer conductor tension is applied towards the cable end, whereby the outer conductor is retained within the back body bore during the axial compression.
