Patent ID: 7699645

Claim:
A connector for connecting an end of a multistranded insulated conductor cable, the cable having a multistranded center conductor surrounded by an insulative sleeve, the connector comprising: a connector body having a first end and a second end, the first end having defined thereon a threaded portion and the second end having a coaxial bore defined therein; a contact member located at the first end, the contact member configured to engage the multistranded center conductor; a conductive pin located within the coaxial bore, the conductive pin configured to establish conductivity between the multistranded center conductor and the equipment terminal; a compression member having a compression member internal passageway disposed therein, a portion of the internal passageway configured to operate with the threaded portion of the first end of the connector body; an elastomeric compression sleeve disposed within a portion of the compression member internal passageway, the compression sleeve having a compression sleeve internal passageway disposed therein; and, a clamping member disposed within a portion of the compression sleeve internal passageway, whereby axial advancement of the compression member on the connector body second end simultaneously causes the contact member to engage the multistranded center conductor and the elastomeric compression sleeve and clamping member to compress radially inwardly against the insulative sleeve to secure the cable within the connector.
