Abstract

In a push-on cable connector assembly, the connector is merely pushed onto the coaxial cable and positive pressure devices maintain electrical continuity at points of contact between the outer conductor of the cable undergoing tests and that of the connector assembly and between the inner conductor of said cable and that of the connector assembly. A spring fingered ferrule provides positive contact pressure with the outer conductor of the coaxial cable. Uniquely, a resilient spring contact probe, commonly applied in production testing of printed circuit boards, is adapted as the center conductor of the push-on connector assembly and provides positive contact pressure between the center conductor of the cable undergoing tests and the center conductor of the push-on connector assembly. A standard coaxial connector of the designer's choice is provided as part of the push-on cable connector assembly.
