Abstract (en)
The connector (22) comprises a two part connector housing (24, 26) which receives and holds a cable portion (10). A contact assembly (44) movably mounted within the housing (24) comprises a hollow outer body (48) of non-conductive material and a conductive contact (52) mounted within the hollow outer body (48) and movable lengthwise within it. The hollow outer body (48) has a tapered penetrable end portion (60) which, when the hollow outer body (48) is moved relative to the housing (24), penetrates at least the outer covering of a received cable portion (10). Following penetration of the cable by the penetrable end portion (60), the contact (52) is advanced to break through the end portion (60) and establish electrical contact with the cable central conductor. Where the cable portion is a coaxial cable, conductive knife blades (36) may be provided to penetrate the outer casing of the cable and establish electrical contact with the outer conductor thereof. <IMAGE>
