Abstract
An improved coaxial cable connector and method for attaching the same to a coaxial cable is disclosed. The improved cable connector comprises a center conductor pin, which may be hollow or solid, for providing electrical conductivity for the center wire, an outer conductor shell, which is concentric to the center pin, for providing electrical conductivity for the shielding wire, and an annular dielectric, such as a phenolic washer, mounted to the center conductor pin for insulating the conductor pin from the outer conductor shell. The improvement lies in the use of an inner wire receptor having a funnel portion for receiving the center wire and a holding portion, which is crimped, for mechanically and electrically securing the center wire. The connector is further improved by included an outer wire receptor, which mechanically and electrically secures the shielding wire by crimping, and an insulator receptor, which insulates the center wire and inner wire receptor from the shielding wire and outer wire receptor. The outer wire receptor is further improved by including a funnel portion concentric with the funnel portion of the inner wire receptor. Likewise, the insulator receptor also includes a funnel portion concentric with the funnel portion of the inner wire receptor.
