Abstract:
A coaxial cable compression connector includes a connector body having opposing first and second ends and a defined center passageway, an insulator disposed within the center passageway adjacent the first end of said connector body, and a compression sleeve movably connected to the second end of said connector body. In one version, the outer conductor of a prepared coaxial cable end and the center conductor are sequentially seized based on axial movement of the compression sleeve upon insertion of a prepared coaxial cable. The compression sleeve when axially moved from the second end to the first end sequentially enables a clamp to engage and seize each of the outer and center conductors. In another version, movement of the compression sleeve causes engagement of the center conductor of an engaged coaxial cable by a plurality of seizing elements disposed in relation to a conductive member into which the center conductor is advanced a predetermined distance.
Abstract:
A compression connector for smooth walled, corrugated, and spiral corrugated coaxial cable includes an insulator disposed within the body, wherein the insulator contains a central opening therein which is dimensioned smaller than a collet portion which seizes a center conductor of the coaxial cable. The connector also includes a clamp disposed inside the body as well as a compression sleeve assembly. An intermediate connector element includes a transitional surface which interacts with the clamp. When an axial force is applied to the compression sleeve, the clamp is forced by the transitional surface into the body, causing the clamp to squeeze onto an outer conductor layer of the coaxial cable. At approximately the same time, the collet portion is forced through the central opening of the insulator, causing the collet portion to squeeze onto the center conductor.
