Abstract
The invention relates to a connector element for mounting on an electric cable comprising at least an inner conductor and a helically-corrugated outer conductor, said element comprising a body and a ring suitable for being secured to the body by screwing, and having a tapped segment for screwing the ring onto the helically-corrugated outer conductor of the cable, and a tapped segment for securing the ring to the body by screw engagement. The tapped segments of the ring have oppositely-handed screw threads such that screwing the body into the ring, while the ring is prevented from rotating, causes the body and the cable to move towards each other.
