Coaxial electrical connector for multiple outer conductor coaxial cable

摘要

A coaxial electrical connector comprises an outer contact assembly including a crimping and sealing ferrule that is disposed onto an outer insulating jacket of a multiple outer conductor coaxial cable and includes an inner annular recess in which is disposed a sealing member; a strain relief section of the ferrule is crimpable onto the outer jacket and an outer conductor of the multiple outer conductors of the cable is disposed on a ferrule element. A center contact is crimpable onto a center conductor of the cable and is insertable into a bore of an inner dielectric member of an inner contact assembly and secured therein, whereafter an inner conductor of the multiple outer conductors of the cable is crimpable onto an inner contact of the inner contact assembly thereby forming a terminated inner contact assembly. The terminated inner contact assembly is then positioned into a bore of an outer dielectric member of the outer contact assembly and secured therein when a crimping ferrule section of the outer contact assembly is crimped onto the ferrule element with the outer conductor of the outer conductors electrically connected therebetween.
