Solderless coaxial cable connector

摘要

A solderless coaxial cable connector for securely holding coaxial cable without indentation to the cable dielectric and offering a high strength joint at the connector. A conductive cylindrical body having four annular ratchet teeth keeps the connector from rotating when mated. The small end of the body accomodates a screw sleeve or a crimp sleeve for the outer conductors of the coaxial cable connector. The large end of the body accommodates a tubular insulator with a bore for a crimp type contact for a solid or stranded center conductor of the coaxial cable. A female nut is held in place at the center portion of the body between the large diameter section and the sleeve, either crimp or screw, to act as a coupling nut when the connector is mated.
