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.
Claims20
A cable connector comprising:
- a first member including an inner surface and an exterior ratchet;
- a second member including an internal passageway configured to receive a cable end and an external surface configured to sandwich a shielding of the cable between the external surface of the second member and the inner surface of the first member;
- and
- a third member including a ratchet configured to mechanically engage with the exterior ratchet of the first member, the third member being configured to hold the second member against the first member, thereby sandwiching the shielding of the cable between the first member and the second member.

A cable connector comprising:
- a first member including an inner surface and an exterior interference fit surface;
- a second member including an internal passageway configured to receive a cable end and an external surface configured to sandwich a shielding of the cable between the external surface of the second member and the inner surface of the first member;
- and
- a third member including an interference fit surface configured to form an interference fit with the exterior interference fit surface of the first member, the third member being configured to hold the second member against the first member, thereby sandwiching the shielding of the cable between the first member and the second member.
