Connector for coaxial cables with thin-walled outer cable conductor

Abstract

A connector for a coaxial cable with thin-walled outer cable conductor, includes a connector head forming an outer connector conductor for electric connection to an outer cable conductor of a coaxial cable, and an inner connector conductor. Embraced by the connector head is a support insulator for retaining the inner connector conductor centrally in and spaced from the connector head, as well as a contact sleeve for establishing a contact between the outer cable conductor and the connector head. The contact sleeve has a thin-walled, cable-proximal portion formed with a thread and intended for rotation into the coaxial cable to establish the contact between the outer cable conductor and the connector head, wherein the contact sleeve has a cable-proximal end edge formed with at least one protrusion projecting in an axial direction in the direction of the cable to establish an expanding mandrel.
