Connector kit, and connector assembly

A kit for securing a connector to an end of a coaxial cable having a central conductor extending from said end, comprising:

• a first bushing half adapted to be mated with a second bushing half to form an insulative bushing, each of said first bushing half and said second bushing half comprising a base, a first semi-circular recess extending into said base at said first bushing end, a second semi-circular recess extending into said base at said second bushing end, and a semi-circular abutment recess extending into said base at a position between said first semi-circular recess and said second semi-circular recess, a base of said first bushing half being adapted to be positioned contiguous with a base of said second bushing half, so that each recess of said first bushing half will be aligned with a similar recess of said second bushing half to form a respective length of said bore, and said at least one first abutment region will be positioned in said respective length of said bore formed by aligned semi-circular abutment recesses, said insulative bushing extending in a longitudinal direction relative to a longitudinal axis of said insulative bushing from a first bushing end to a second bushing end, said insulative bushing comprising a bore extending in said longitudinal direction from said first bushing end to said second bushing end, said bore comprising a bore surface, said bore surface comprising at least one first abutment region, said bore being adapted to receive therein a central conductor of a coaxial cable at said second bushing end such that said central conductor may be extended into said bore from said second bushing end and positioned in a first abutment region;
• a contact adapted to be inserted into said bore from said first bushing end towards said second bushing end, said contact comprising at least one second abutment region positioned at an outer surface of said contact, said at least one second abutment region adapted to be positioned adjacent said at least one first abutment region to prevent turning of said contact around a longitudinal axis of said contact;
• said first bushing half and said second bushing half each comprising a third semi-circular recess extending into said base between said first semi-circular recess and said semi-circular abutment recess, said third semi-circular recess of said first bushing half being adapted to be aligned with said third semi-circular recess of said second bushing half to form a respective length of said bore, and further wherein said contact comprises a flange extending from said outer surface of said contact, said flange being positioned between said at least one second abutment region and an end of said contact extending out of said bore when said contact is inserted into said bore, a segment of said contact being adapted to extend into said respective length of said bore formed by aligned first semi-circular recesses, said flange being adapted to extend into a length of said bore formed by aligned third semi-circular recesses, and said at least one second abutment regions being adapted to extend into said respective length of said bore formed by aligned abutment recesses and
• a conductive connector shell adapted to receive said insulative bushing therein.
