Clamp assembly for rf compression connector

A connector for use in combination with a coaxial cable, comprising:

• a connector body having an aperture for accepting the coaxial cable, the coaxial cable having an inner conductor, an outer conductor circumscribing the inner conductor and a dielectric core disposed therebetween, and
• a clamp assembly having first and second arcuate segments assembled to circumscribe a terminal end of the coaxial cable and having a first end configured to urge the outer conductor into electrical contact with the connector body, the clamp assembly having a second end defining a plurality of retention members projecting radially from each of the the first and second arcuate segments, at least one of the plurality of retentiion members projecting radially outwardly to engage an inner surface of the connector body and at least another of the plurality of retention members projecting radially inwardly to engage an outer surface of the coaxial cable;
• wherein, the plurality of retention members inhibit separation of the connector body relative to the coaxial cable.
