Abstract
A compression-type coaxial cable connector having a male adapter nut at the leading end thereof, a slotted body portion and a compression sleeve slidably attached to the body portion and forming the trailing end of the connector. The connector, and each of the components associated therewith, has an axial conduit coextensive with the length thereof. The prepared end of a coaxial cable is inserted into the trailing end of the axial conduit and advanced through the conduit into the body portion until the center conductor of the cable either extends into the adapter nut or is seized by a fixed seizing pin that extends through the leading end of the adapter nut, and the compression sleeve advanced over the body portion to complete the connection. The connector, which, unlike prior art connectors, lacks a center post, is easy to install and is suitable for low frequency (<˜20 MHz) applications.
