Abstract
A method of mounting an electrical connector on a coaxial cable may include: providing an electrical connector including: a central contact provided with at least one crimping portion; an insulating body including a bearing portion with a top face on which the crimping portion of the central contact bears, at least in part; and at least one empty space adjacent to the side wall of the bearing portion of the insulating body; and crimping the central contact onto the central conductor by using a crimping tool including a bearing surface bearing against the crimping portion of the central contact, the tool being movable into an end-of-stroke position in which the bearing surface of the tool extends at least in part into the empty space and beneath the crimping portion of the central contact.
