Abstract
A right-angle coaxial cable connector has an inner cable stop for positioning an end of a coaxial cable in a specific location within an electrically conductive connector housing. A terminal device of the connector includes a center contact terminal with insulation displacement blades on one end. A dielectric member is sandwiched between the center contact terminal and an outer electrical contact. The cable stop surface may be a direct projection from the housing or an extension of the dielectric member. The projection or dielectric member electrically isolates a conductive core of the cable from the connector housing. Full insertion of the terminal device or a part of the terminal device into the connector housing causes the blades to cut through insulation of the cable and electrically connect the conductive core of the cable with the center contact terminal. The structure of the connector housing and the assembly process enable inspection of the cable end location within the housing prior to termination of the cable. A ferrule is used to secure the cable to the housing after confirmation of the location. The outer electrical contact of the terminal device is electrically connected to an outer conductive sheath of the cable through the connector housing when the ferrule is crimped on the housing around the sheath.
