Abstract
A connector is to be attached to a coaxial cable. The connector includes a connector housing having a cylindrical shape to be coupled to the outer conductor. An insulator member has a central opening therein and is rotatably received within the connector housing to define a rotational joint therewith. A center contact has a shaft portion securely received within the central opening of the insulator member and an open end portion extending rearwardly from the shaft portion to securely receive the inner conductor therein.
