Abstract
A coaxial contact (22) for termination to a coaxial cable (200) having a center conductor (208) surrounded by a dielectric material (206) thence a braid (204) and jacket. The coaxial contact (22) has a center contact (24) with a mating portion (42), a conductor attaching portion (46) and a shank (50) extending therebetween. A first substantially semi-cylindrical insert member (160) having an axial recess (170) adapted to receive at least a portion of the center contact (24) is positioned adjacent the center contact (24), A second substantially semi-cylindrical dielectric insert member(162) is adapted to be positioned over the first insert member (160) resulting in a substantially cylindrical dielectric structure (26) that surrounds a portion of the center contact (24). A ferrule (28, 28') is positioned over a portion of the dielectric insert. An electrically conductive shell secures the subassembly together. The shell has a forward cylindrical contact portion (76) and a cable attaching, braid engaging portion (80).
