SOLDER-ON CONNECTOR FOR COAXIAL CABLE

摘要

A solder-on connector (6) for a coaxial cable (8) includes a body (12) having a bore (19) for receiving the outer conductor (30) of the cable, a center pin (20) for connection with the center conductor (30) of the cable, an insulator (22) disposed within the bore of the body for supporting the center pin, and a nut (14) or similar fastener for securing the connector to a mating connector. The insulator extends rearwardly within the body to abut the both the inner wall of the body and the inserted end of the outer conductor (26) of the cable. The rearmost portion (34) of the insulator serves as a solder dam to prevent excess solder (27) form flowing into the bore of the body beyond the end of the outer conductor of the cable. The rearmost end (13) of the body includes an enlarged diameter region (48) for receiving a portion of the cable jacket (24). An inwardly-directed annular shoulder (54) formed upon such enlarged diameter region captivated melted portions (52) of the cable jacket when the outer conductor is soldered to the body.
