<p>A coaxial connector is described, of the type that has a shell (14, FIG. 1 ) with a tubular first portion (16) whose front mates with another connector and whose extreme rear end (64) is initially open, and which has a second portion (22) extending at a right angle to the first portion for mechanically and electrically terminating to the braiding (42A) of a coaxial cable (30). The second portion (22) of the shell forms a tubular ferrule that surrounds the cable inner insulation (40) and which is surrounded by the cable braiding. The connector includes a sleeve (46) which can slide along the cable to a position surrounding the braiding that surrounds the ferrule, so crimping of the sleeve locks the braiding between the ferrule and sleeve. The shell second portion includes first and second parts (50, 52) that extend respectively from the lower and upper sides (60, 62) of the rearward end (56) of the first shell portion, with the second part being bendable and each part forming about half of the tubular ferrule. The second part (52) extends rearwardly from the upper side of the shell first portion while lying above the mate axis (12) of the first shell portion to provide access for a soldering iron to reach into the initially open rear end of the first shell portion.</p> |
