Claims13
A coaxial connector, comprising:
- a shell comprising a front cylindrical section and a collar having a rear edge adjacent the collar;
- the front cylindrical section comprising slots configured to receive locking pins of a female connector;
- a center conductor housing comprising a forward cylindrical section, a flange, and a crimp section disposed coaxially within the shell;
- a gasket positioned between the shell and the flange;
- a spring mechanism disposed between the flange and the rear rolled edge
- wherein the spring mechanism allows the center conductor housing axial movement within the shell;
- and
- a dielectric disposed coaxially within the forward cylindrical section;
- wherein the collar comprises tabs that are folded inward to form the rear edge that urges the spring mechanism toward the center conductor.
