CONNECTOR FOR TERMINATING A COAXIAL ELECTRICAL CABLE

An electrical connector for terminating a coaxial electrical cable comprising a centre conductor and a concentric outer conductor spaced from the centre conductor by a layer of dielectric material, the connector comprising a centre contact for crimp connection to a bared end portion of the centre conductor of the cable, a conductive sleeve having a relatively small diameter first end portion adapted to be received between the dielectric layer and an exposed portion of the outer conductor of the cable, a crimping ferrule for crimping about the outer conductor portion of the cable on the first end portion of the conductive sleeve, a dielectric spacer sleeve received in a relatively large diameter second end portion of the conductive sleeve, and having a bore to receive the crimped centre contact, a cylindrical outer contact in electrical contact with the conductive sleeve, and a coupling member retained on the conductive sleeve by engagement between projections on the conductive sleeve at the inner end of the second end portion thereof, and an inner end of the outer contact, the outer contact being in frictional engagement with the outer surface of the second end portion of the conductive sleeve.
