Wrap-around ferrule for coaxial cable connector

摘要

A connector has a first section for receiving an inner electrical terminal, an outer electrical contact, and a dielectric member separating the inner terminal and outer contact. A second section of the connector extends at an angle from the first section and receives a conductive core and an inner insulation layer of a coaxial cable. The second section has an end for sliding between the inner insulation layer and an outer conductive sheath. The outer contact includes a ferrule for extending through an aperture in the first section and partially around an outer jacket of the cable, the conductive sheath and the second section. The ferrule has appendages for crimping on the jacket. The appendages have serrations for cutting through the jacket and electrically connecting the conductive sheath directly with the outer contact. The second section prevents the appendages and serrations from penetrating to the inner insulation layer.
