For contacting the internal conductor of a coaxial cable without screws, a leaf spring (9) is provided in a receiving sleeve (1), which tightens after the recessed end of the coaxial cable has been pushed in against the internal conductor of the coaxial cable. The leaf spring (9) forms an angle with the guide axis for the internal conductor of the coaxial cable such that the internal conductor is wedged against the direction of introduction in the leaf spring (9) when a tensile stress is applied (Figure 1). <IMAGE>
