The plug connector includes a shell that can be terminated to a coaxial cable outer shield or braid The shell has deflectable spring fingers formed at its mating end with a radially extending lip A collar surrounds the shell The collar is formed by a two housing components that are preferably identical and can be mated together in surrounding relationship to the shield.
