1. A connector for connecting to a co-axial cable, the connector comprising:

  • a body portion comprising a first end and a second end, the body portion defining a bore;

    a contact member comprising a circumferential portion and at least one protruding member, wherein;

    the contact member is electrically conductive;

    an outer surface of the circumferential portion is at least partially disposed within the bore at the first end of the body portion; and

    the at least one protruding member protrudes from the circumferential portion toward the second end of the body portion and within the bore;

    an inner sleeve at least partially disposed within the circumferential portion of the contact member;

    a rotatable coupling nut rotatably coupled to the inner sleeve, wherein the rotatable coupling nut is electrically conductive and is electrically coupled to the contact member; and

    a conductor retaining member centrally disposed within the inner sleeve, the conductor retaining member configured to receive an inner conductor of the co-axial cable such that the inner conductor is free to pass through the conductor retaining member in a first direction toward the first end of the body portion, and is restricted from passing through the conductor retaining member in a second direction away from the rotatable coupling nut.
