CONTACT ASSEMBLY FOR COAXIAL CABLE

A contact assembly for connecting to a coaxial cable. The contact assembly includes a first conductive member, a second conductive member and an insulator. The first conductive member provides a mechanical and an electrical engagement with a metallic shield of the coaxial cable and provides a mechanical engagement with an insulative jacket of the coaxial cable. The second conductive member provides a mechanical and an electrical engagement with a conductive center core of the coaxial cable. The second conductive member may have a fastening member rotatably attached thereto. The second conductive member may include a first crimp barrel and a second crimp barrel to make the mechanical and the electrical engagement with the coaxial cable. An insulator is positioned and secured between the first conductive member and the second conductive member. The insulator provides electrical isolation between the first conductive member and the second conductive member.
