End connector fitting with crimping device

An end connector fitting for connecting a cable having an inner electrically conductive member to another electrically conductive member, said fitting comprising:

• radially inner and outer spaced concentric sleeve members defining an annular space therebetween for insertion of said inner electrically conductive member through said inner of said sleeve members, said sleeve members each being of continuous cylindrical configuration;
• and
• a crimping nut member having a tubular insert provided with an inner tapered surface portion, and means for advancing said nut member axially with respect to said sleeve members whereby said insert imparts inward radial deformation to crimp said outer sleeve member into sealed engagement with an external portion of said cable which is inserted into said annular space against an external surface of said inner sleeve member.

An end connector fitting for coaxial cables of the type having radially inner and outer spaced conductors wherein said fitting includes a hollow cylindrical connector body and radially inner and outer spaced concentric sleeve members having an annular space therebetween at least at one end of said body, said sleeve members sized for insertion of an end of said inner conductor therethrough, and insertion of said outer conductor into said annular space, said sleeve members each being of continuous cylindrical configuration, the combination therewith comprising:

• a crimping nut member having an inner tapered surface portion at one end and an internally threaded portion at an opposite end for engagement with a complementary externally threaded portion on said connector body and wherein threaded advancement of said nut member axially with respect to said connector body will cause said tapered annular surface portion to impart inward radial deformation to crimp said outer sleeve member into sealed engagement with said outer conductor of said coaxial cable.
