Abstract

A coaxial cable connector comprises a head and a hollow cylinder. The hollow cylinder comprises a protective cylinder, a tubular shaft, and an elastic cylinder. The tubular shaft comprises a guide hole, a plurality of ladders, a locking flange, and a plurality of hooks. The elastic cylinder comprises a trench and a hook at one end and a locking ring defined by a notch near the other end. A bended metal tube having a stopper is mounted on the protective cylinder. In the coupling process, the coaxial cable inserts into the hollow cylinder. By using a pressure from a tool to break the notch of the elastic cylinder, the locking ring is separable from the elastic ring, and the locking ring shifts forward continuously along an inclined surface of the notch. Since the protective cylinder restrains the locking ring, the connector can couple with the coaxial cable tightly by pressing down the locking ring.
