Abstract
Inner and outer coaxial contacts (,) of a connector are connected to first and second conductors (,) of a cable by first crimping the conductors to the rear ends (,) of a pair of terminals (,) that have pin-shaped front ends (,). Then, the pin-shaped front ends of the terminals are inserted into passages (,) at the rear ends of the contacts to lie in a sliding fit with the contacts. The passage at the rear end of each contact holds a clip (,) forming tines (,) that grasp the pin at the front of a terminal to establish good electrical contact. An insulative terminal positioner (,) has bores (,) that receive the terminals to position them. The rear portion (,) of the outer contact has two laterally spaced holes (,) with centers lying on opposite sides of the connector axis, a second of the holes being the second connector passage (,) that receives the second terminal pin, and the first hole receiving the rear portion of the inner contact and the inner insulator.
