Abstract
A coaxial connector includes a removable back nut, an outer body, and a center conductor supported within the outer body by a dielectric. A clamp ring is rotatably disposed within the central bore of the back nut. A prepared end of a coaxial cable is inserted through the back nut, and the end portion of the outer conductor of the coaxial cable is flared outwardly. As the back nut is tightened onto the outer body, the flared end of the outer conductor is directly clamped between mating clamping surfaces formed on the clamp ring and the outer body. An optional compression member is provided, and is axially displaced into the outer body as the back nut is tightened for engaging the female socket to seize the inner conductor of the cable. A seal disposed in the back nut forms a seal between the back nut, the clamp ring, and the cable jacket. The back nut can be tightened without twisting the coaxial cable.
