Patent ID: 7845979

Claim:
A coaxial connector for connecting a coaxial member to a mating component, comprising: a swivel member defining a central axis and having first and second opposing ends, the first end having an outer and an inner surface and a threaded region for threadingly engaging the first end of the swivel member with a matching threaded portion of the mating component; a main body having first and second opposing body ends and a central bore defining a longitudinal axis which is coaxial with the central axis of the swivel member, the first body end having an outer cylindrical surface; a centre conductor extending along the longitudinal axis and, a nut having a central aperture defining an inner surface and first and second opposing side walls, the first side wall being adapted to slidingly engage and abut the mating component , and an inner inclining surface region, wherein the swivel member extends through the central aperture of the nut, the inner surface of the nut engaging with a region of the swivel member to prevent substantial rotation of the nut in relation to the swivel member, wherein the swivel member is rotatably received on the outer cylindrical surface of the first body end of the main body and the outer cylindrical surface is adjacent to a recessed region so as to form a shoulder, and wherein the second end of the swivel member has an inwardly extending projection and an outer inclining surface region and is radially compressible, the inner inclining surface region of the nut being adapted to cooperate with the outer inclining surface region of the swivel member so as to radially compress the second end of the swivel member in order to bring the inwardly extending projection into engagement with the shoulder.
