A method is disclosed for terminating a coaxial connector to a coaxial cable. The coaxial connector has an elongated signal pin surrounded in part by an insulating jacket and an elongated shield member surrounding the insulating jacket while the coaxial cable has a signal wire surrounded by an inner insulating member, ground means surrounding the insulating jacket and an outer insulating sheath surrounding the ground means. The method includes providing an elongated conductive shield member having a front portion and a rear portion. The front portion of the shield member is secured onto the insulating jacket surrounding the signal pin whereby a portion of the signal pin is positioned within the rear portion. The ground means is electrically and mechanically bonded to the rear portion of the shield member. The signal wire is then electrically and mechanically bonded to an exposed portion of the signal pin within the rear portion of the shield member while the signal pin is held by the shield member. The rear portion of the shield member is then closed around the bonded portions of the signal wire and the ground means.
A method of terminating a coaxial connector to a coaxial cable, said connector having an elongated signal pin surrounded in part by an insulating jacket and an elongated shield member surrounding the insulating jacket, said cable having a signal wire surrounded by an inner insulating member, ground means surrounding said insulating member and an outer insulating sheath surrounding said ground means, comprising the steps of:
A method of terminating a coaxial connector to a coaxial cable, said connector having an elongated signal pin surrounded in part by an insulating jacket and an elongated shield member surrounding the insulating jacket, and said cable having a signal wire extending therethrough surrounded by an inner dielectric member, a conductive ground member surrounding said dielectric member, an outer dielectric sleeve surrounding said conductive ground member and, at least one ground wire extending along said cable between said outer dielectric sleeve and said conductive ground member, comprising the steps of:
