Coaxial connectors

A coaxial connector mountable on an end of a coaxial cable having a central conductor (cc) and an exterior conductor (ce), the connector comprising a first conductive contact element for contacting the central conductor (cc), a second conductive contact element for contacting the exterior conductor (ce) electrically isolated from the first contact element, a clamping member opposing the second contact element for clamping the exterior conductor against the second contact element and a force applying member for forcing the clamping member and the second contact element towards each other, wherein the second contact element and/or the clamping member comprise at least one deforming member for deforming the exterior conductor (ce) under influence of the force applying member, wherein each deforming member is constructed in a material with a predetermined hardness above that of the material of the exterior conductor and has a predetermined shape for hardening a portion of the exterior conductor to such an extent that it becomes substantially fully elastic.
