Abstract
The invention relates to a coaxial cable connector having a conductive outer shell comprising a mating section and a cylindrical sleeve. The cylindrical sleeve has a cable receiving end having an annular projection with a larger external diameter than the cylindrical sleeve. A coaxial cable is stripped to expose portions of an outer conductor, a dielectric, and a central conductor. The central conductor terminates within a signal pin. A ferrule is positioned over the outer conductor. The outer conductor is folded back over the ferrule. An insulative cylinder is positioned over the dielectric. When a crimping die is applied to the cylindrical sleeve, the crimping die first contacts the annular projection. The annular projection rolls inward and toward the mating section of the conductive outer shell. The annular projection contacts the ferrule pushing the ferrule toward the mating section to create a forward bias inside the cylindrical sleeve.
