Abstract

A cable connector kit is provided which may be assembled to electrically and mechanically connect a central conductor of a coaxial cable to a male or female contact. An upper and a lower insulator are provided in the kit, such insulators being attachable to each other to form an insulator body having a cavity therein. The lower insulator includes an anvil which extends into such cavity and the upper insulator includes a compressing member which extends into such cavity and mates with the anvil. When assembled, a cable connector assembly is provided wherein the central conductor overlaps a portion of the contact, the central conductor and contact portion being sandwiched between the anvil and compressing member.
