Abstract

An electrical connector for coupling to a coaxial cable. The connector has a housing with a bore therein and a first electrical conductive prong protruding axially into the housing bore for receiving the end of an insulated electrical conductor. A second electrical conductive prong is attached to the housing and protrudes axially into the housing bore generally concentric to the first electrical conductive prong. The coaxial cable end is pushed into the housing bore to drive the center conductor into the first conductive prong and the second conductive prong into the cable conductive sheath. A coaxial cable collar is shaped to fit over the end of a piece of coaxial cable placed in the housing and has compressible fingers for driving onto the coax cable outer insulation to lock the cable to the housing. A cap having an annular wedging surface therein compresses the coaxial cable collar in the housing onto the insulated coaxial cable.
