Abstract
A solderless plug-in coaxial connector attachment is provided. Elements are configured to engage and capture a coaxial grounding layer (or braid) as the connector is installed on the cable. The engagements between elements enhance axial and radial captivation for mechanical robustness and electrical connectivity while minimizing the overall length of the connector. An installation tool aids in the installation of the coaxial connector.
Claims12
A cable connector comprising:
- an inner locking member including an inner transition area and an exterior locking ratchet;
- an internal clamping ring including an internal passageway configured to receive a cable end and an external transition area configured to sandwich a shielding of the coaxial cable between the external transition area of the internal clamping ring and the inner transition area of the inner locking member;
- and
- an external locking ring including a positive locking ratchet configured to mechanically engage with the exterior locking ratchet of the inner locking member, the external locking ring being configured to hold the internal clamping ring against the inner locking member, thereby sandwiching the shielding of the cable end between the internal clamping ring and the inner locking member.
