Abstract

See full text

A method of terminating a malleable external shield (16) of a malleable coaxial cable (2) is carried out by inserting an end of the cable (2) into a tubular connector body (5) through one end (41) thereof and driving a shield gripping tubular metal member (8) surrounding the cable (2) into the connector body (5) from the one end (41) thereof so that the shield gripping member (8) tightly grips the cable shield (16), an external peripheral end flange (38) on the shield gripping member (8) being proximate to the one end (41) of the connector body (5). In order to afford strain relief for the electrical connection between the shield gripping member (8) and the cable shield (16), a solder ring (48) surrounding the cable (2) is held on the flange (38) and an induction heating ring (50) is employed to melt the solder ring (48) to provide a solder fillet (52) rigidly connecting the flange (38) to the cable shield (16).
