COAXIAL CABLE AND CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY

摘要

A coaxial cable-connector assembly includes a coaxial cable and a coaxial connector. The coaxial cable includes: an inner conductor having a termination end, the termination end including a bore; a dielectric layer that overlies the inner conductor; an outer conductor that overlies the dielectric layer having a termination end; and a jacket that overlies the outer conductor. The coaxial connector includes: an inner conductor body including a boss that encircles the termination end of the inner conductor and a longitudinal bore; an outer conductor body electrically connected with the termination end of the outer conductor; and an expansion member inserted into the bore of the termination end of the inner conductor, the expansion member being sized and configured to radially expand the termination end of the inner conductor into electrical contact with the boss of the inner conductor body.

1. A coaxial cable-connector assembly, comprising:
(a) a coaxial cable comprising: an inner conductor having a termination end, the termination end including a bore; a dielectric layer that overlies the inner conductor; an outer conductor that overlies the dielectric layer having a termination end; and a jacket that overlies the outer conductor; and (b) a coaxial connector comprising: an inner conductor body configured to mate with the inner conductor body of a mating coaxial cable jack, the inner conductor body including a boss that encircles the termination end of the inner conductor, and further including a longitudinal bore; an outer conductor body configured to mate with the outer conductor body of the mating coaxial cable jack, the outer conductor body being electrically connected with the termination end of the outer conductor; and an expansion member inserted into the bore of the termination end of the inner conductor, the expansion member being sized and configured to radially expand the termination end of the inner conductor into electrical contact with the boss of the inner conductor body.
