Abstract

A coaxial connector element including an outer contact connected to the outer conductor of a coaxial cable, a central contact having a longitudinal axis and circularly-symmetrical neck at a rear end, and a coupling mounted on the central conductor of the coaxial cable, the coupling provided with a resilient fork having two prongs defining a seat between them for snap-fastening the neck of the central contact. Each prong having a pointed end defined by two cylindrical recesses, whereby when the coupling initially contacts the neck of the central contact, the coupling is angularly offset from its normal snap-fastening position to a position in which the neck is securely engage by the fork.
