(57) An electrical connector for terminating semi-rigid coaxial cable (1) comprises a
collet-type, threaded sleeve (13) having an annular base or flange (15) extending
radially outward at one end through which a length of semi-rigid coaxial cable is
drawn with the cable centre conductor (3) protruding through the flange. The sleeve
(13) comprises a plurality of slots (35) extending from the flange length-wise to
the rearward end of the sleeve. A standard threaded nut (31) is tightened on the sleeve
(13) against the flange (15). As the nut (31) bottoms out against the flange, the
sleeve is compressed against the cable outer conductor (7) providing retention of
the cable and electrical contact between the cable outer conductor (7) and the connector.
Electrical connection between the center conductor and an electrical circuit can be
provided by a socket (19) soldered into a printed circuit board.
