In connecting a center contact and an outer contact of a terminal contact set to a center conductor and an outer conductor of a coaxial cable at its cable end, the center and outer contacts are formed by punching an electroconductive plate, as a contact frame, integral with each other and with first and second frame portions connected to each other by bridge portion and carrying center and outer contacts, respectively. After the center and the outer contacts are connected to the center and outer conductors, respectively, those contacts are separated from the first and second frame portions. The center contact comprises first press-fit portions to be press-fitted to the center conductor and first holding portion to hold a first cover of the cable insulating the center conductor from the outer conductor. The outer contact (2) comprises second holding portion for holding a second cover of the cable insulating and covering the outer conductor, and second press-fit portion to press-fit to the outer conductor. The second press-fit portion has a press-insert portion to be contacted with the outer conductor and to clamp the first cover, and a guide piece for guiding the second cover of the cable to a position between the second press-fit portion. The center and outer contacts can be assembled, as connector contacts, into a plug insulator to form a plug connector.
A method for attaching terminal contacts to a cable end of a coaxial cable comprising a first conductor centered inside, a second conductor extending coaxial with said first conductor, a first insulating cover covering and insulating said first conductor from said second conductor, and a second insulating cover covering said second conductor, said terminal contacts comprising an electroconductive first contact element to be electrically connected to an end of said first conductor at the cable end and an electroconductive second contact element to be electrically connected to said second conductor, said method comprising steps of;
A terminal contact set for coaxial cable comprising a center conductor, a first insulating cover covering said center conductor, an outer conductor surrounding said first cover, and a second insulating cover covering said outer conductor, said terminal contact set comprising an electroconductive center contact to be electrically connected to said center conductor and to mechanically hold said first cover, and an electroconductive outer contact to be electrically connected to said outer conductor and to mechanically hold said second cover, wherein:
