Abstract
An electrical connector element, especially a coaxial connector body (1), includes a forward connector part (2) and a rearward crimp barrel part (3), formed of a single piece of thin sheet metal, wherein the crimp barrel part is constructed to avoid resilient collapse during crimping. The sheet metal has been rolled into a cylinder with adjacent edges (7, 8), with each edge provided with a circumferentially-projecting tab (11, 12) that overlies the other edge. The two tabs prevent one edge from riding over the other to thereby prevent resilient collapse of the cylinder during crimping, but instead hold the edges adjacent to cause plastic deformation of the crimp barrel part during crimping.
