Patent ID: 8568165

Claim:
An electrical connector, comprising: a locknut made of metal, said locknut comprising opposing front and rear sides and an annular locating flange located on the front side thereof; a core tube, said core tube comprising an axial hole axially extending through opposing front and rear sides thereof for receiving a copper core (center conductor) and an inner dielectric insulator of a coaxial cable, and a first tubular wall and a second tubular wall axially connected in series around the axial hole of said core tube for supporting a braided metal wrapper (woven copper shield) and an outer plastic sheath of said coaxial cable; a cylindrical casing surrounding said core tube, said cylindrical casing being elastically deformable, said cylindrical casing comprising an axial hole for receiving said core tube, a first tubular deformable portion and a second tubular deformable portion axially connected in series around the axial hole of said cylindrical casing, and a vertical rear stop edge located on a rear end of said second tubular deformable portion remote from said first tubular deformable portion; and a barrel axially movably mounted on said cylindrical casing between said first tubular deformable portion and said locknut, said barrel comprising a tapered inner surface portion located on a rear side thereof and movable with said barrel over said first tubular deformable portion and said second tubular deformable portion of said cylindrical casing to compress said first tubular deformable portion and said second tubular deformable portion against the inserted coaxial cable and said core tube, and an annular front stop edge located on a front side thereof.
