Abstract:

An electrical connector (60) is disclosed of the type to which a coaxial cable (22) having a braided conductor layer (26) is adapted to be clamped to establish electrical and mechanical connections, characterized by a simplified cable clamping means. The clamping means includes an outer contact-clamping body (72) formed with a clamping cone (112) integral with an outer contact portion (68). In preferred embodiments, the contact-clamping body (72) is engagable to be held against rotation by flats (94) formed on the outside diameter of an intermediate section (93) thereof, connector coupling sleeve (62) movable into mating engagement therewith, and to be retracted to allow the coupling sleeve (62) to be rotatable during coupling with a mating connector.
