Abstract

A connector for a coaxial line with corrugated outer conductor or a corrugated waveguide tube includes a metal casing which has an internal circumferential groove accommodating a radially elastic helical spring ring of conducting material. The helical spring ring surrounds the outer conductor of the coaxial line or the waveguide, respectively, and is loaded in axial direction by a thrust member so as to contact a radial annular contact surface of the metal casing.
