Abstract

A connector assembly has a cylindrical inner contact member with a threaded outer surface to match the helical corrugations of the inner conductor of the coaxial cable so that the inner contact member can be threaded into the helically corrugated inner conductor. A flaring ring and a clamping member have opposed bevelled surfaces for engaging the respective inner and outer surfaces of the outer conductor of the cable. A body member draws and holds the bevelled surface of the flaring ring and the clamping member together against opposite surfaces of the outer conductor of the cable.
