Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9310578A1] A low-cost miniature coaxial connector is provided, which attaches securily to a coaxial cable. The connector includes inner and outer contacts (30, 32, Fig. 2) constructed of rolled sheet metal and separated by an insulator (34). An inner ferrule (70) formed form a seamless tube, is first crimped around the jacket (24) of the coaxial cable. The braided outer conductor (22) of the cable is wrapped backwards around the crimped inner ferrule. The rear end (60) of the outer contact is held tightly around the braiding by an outer ferrule (72) that is crimped around the rear end of the outer contact. By crimping to the jacket (24) of the cable, the connector is securily held to the cable to withstand relatively large forces pulling the cable away from the connector. The sheet metal outer contact (32) can be reliably crimped in place by the seamless outer ferrule (72) which is crimped around it to hold it tightly around the braiding of the cable outer conductor (22).
