Abstract
A connector for attachment to a coaxial cable having a smooth outer cable conductor, includes a connector head having a threaded portion and defining a ring surface for establishing a contact from inside with an end zone of an outer cable conductor. The outer cable conductor is enclosed by a contact sleeve which has a plurality of radially resilient segments. Surrounding the contact sleeve is a hollow screw which is so threadably engageable with the connector head along a predetermined clamping path, until the end zone of the outer cable conductor is urged against the contact surface of the connector head. The contact sleeve, when not exposed to a load, has an inner diameter which in the area of the beaded ends of the segments is smaller than a diameter of the outwardly deflected end zone of the outer cable conductor and in the remaining area is greater than the diameter of the outwardly bent end zone of the outer cable conductor.
