Abstract
A connector assembly for a coaxial cable with a corrugated outer conductor, includes a housing being so configured as to define a recess at formation of an annular surface for contacting an inner end face of the outer conductor, and a clamp mechanism for captivating one end of the coaxial cable. The clamp mechanism includes a corrugated sleeve adapted to fit over the cable outer conductor, with the end face of the cable outer conductor projecting axially beyond an end face of the corrugated sleeve, and a clamping member adapted for engagement with the housing and thereby so pushing the corrugated sleeve into the recess by a distance as to clamp a portion of the end face of the cable outer conductor between the annular surface of the housing and the end face of the corrugated sleeve, with the corrugated sleeve being guided within the recess for axial displacement and secured therein against rotation.
