Abstract
This is a method and associated apparatus for electrically connecting a coaxial connector plug having a hollow cylindrical center pin inside a cylindrical conductive housing concentrically disposed about the center pin with an insulating support separating the pin and the housing to a coaxial cable having a center conductor inside a hollow conductive shield and separated therefrom by an insulating layer without the use of solder. The metod comprises the steps of: PA0 exposing a leading portion of the center conductor and a trailing portion of the conductive shield; PA0 sliding a hollow cylindrical conductive sleeve over the leading portion; PA0 inserting the cable into the plug so as to insert the center conductor and the conductive sleeve into the hollow center pin and the trailing portion of the conductive shield into a cable-receiving portion of the cylindrical conductive housing; PA0 staking the center pin at a single point so as to crimp the center pin, the sleeve and the center conductor together by deforming them in a single direction; and, PA0 crimping the cable-receiving portion of the housing and the trailing portion of the conductive shield together.
