Abstract
A coaxial cable connector is provided for installation and use with a prepared end of a coaxial cable. The connector comprises a body and a nut threadably tightenable to the body. The body includes a center pin chuck for engaging the center conductor of the cable when the nut assembly is tightened to the body. The nut defines an interior space including a mandrel assembly which is freely rotatable within the interior space until the nut is tightened to the body. The mandrel assembly includes an insulator cone for guiding the center conductor; it includes a clamping arrangement for engaging and clamping the center pin chuck as the nut is tightened to the body. The assembly further includes a mandrel which is slideably mounted under the cable outer metal jacket in a space provided after removal of a portion of the dielectric core incident to preparation of the cable end. A ferrule is slidably mounted over the outer jacket and the ferrule includes collet fingers disposed over a portion of the mandrel. The mandrel includes a ferrule collet closure for closing the collet fingers of the ferrule to cause them to compress the outer metal jacket against the portion of the mandrel as the nut…
