Patent ID: 7008264

Claim:
A connector for a coaxial cable that has an annularly corrugated outside conductor, comprising: a connector head which comprises a conical annular surface on a cable side end of the connector head, the conical annular surface establishing contact on an inner side of a boundary face region of the outside conductor of the coaxial cable, the connector head further comprising an outside thread; a clamping element that encloses the outside conductor of the coaxial cable, the clamping element being capable of springing back in the radial direction; and a pressure member comprising a sleeve with an inside thread that engages the outside thread of the connector head, such that the pressure member screws together with the connector head, the pressure member enclosing the clamping element in a mounted state, wherein the clamping element is axially loaded in a direction towards the conical annular surface of the connector head, so that the boundary face region of the outside conductor of the cable is electrically contacted and is mechanically clamped between the conical annular surface and a counter-surface of the clamping element, wherein: the clamping element comprises a clamping ring that is open on one side and that sits in a graduated inside groove of the sleeve, which inside groove has on an insertion side a first larger diameter and on the cable side a second smaller diameter, wherein the clamping ring has a cross section according to a triangle with a blunted tip; and a transition between the first and second diameters of the graduated inside groove is configured to cooperate with a cable-side face edge of the clamping ring, such that the clamping ring tensions against the conical annular surface of the connector head during screwing of the sleeve onto the connector head under radial compression of the boundary face region of the outside conductor of the coaxial cable.
