Coaxial connector

A contact device for a cable conductor comprising at least one inner conductor and inner insulating sheath and a common shield together with an outer insulating sheath, the contact device comprising:

• a first connection terminal for the shield;
• a second connection terminal for each inner conductor;
• a guiding element for each inner insulating sheath located between the first terminal and the second terminal;
• and
• a stop element for each inner insulating sheath located proximate the second terminal,
• wherein, upon insertion of the cable into the contact device, each of the guiding elements is adapted to direct an end portion of one of the inner insulating sheaths to engage a corresponding one of the stop elements and, upon further movement of the cable towards the stop element, the inner insulating sheath is axially compressed by the stop element, a portion of each of the inner conductors is thereby partially exposed from its inner insulating sheath and located beyond the corresponding stop element for its inner insulating sheath for connection to a corresponding one of the second connection terminals.
