Claims

1. An electriCal connector for a wire having an inner conductor and a braid surrounding said conductor and an insulating material positioned between said braid and said conductor, said connector comprising:

a first outer contact including an outwardly extending finger for connection to said inner conductor, a second outer contact positioned around said insulation material and spaced from said first contact, said second contact extending at one end thereof beneath said braid, a sleeve positioned over said braid to secure said braid against said second contact, said second contact including outwardly extending ears spaced therearound, plate means having a passageway therethrough, said passageway including a plurality of grooves for alignment with said ears, and a raised ledge portion between said grooves.

2. An electrical connector for a wire having an inner conductor and a braid surrounding said conductor and an insulating material positioned between said braid and said conductor, said connector comprising:

a first outer contact including an outwardly extending finger crimped to said inner conductor, a second outer contact positioned over said insulation material and spaced from said first contact, said second contact extending at one end thereof beneath said braid, a sleeve positioned over said braid and crimping together said braid and said second contact, said second contact including outwardly extending ears spaced therearound, plate means having a passageway therethrough, said passageway including a plurality of grooves for alignment with said ears, and a raised ledge portion between said grooves.

3. An electrical connector as set forth in claim 1, and further including:

a grommet having an aperture therein aligned with said passageway, said first contact extending into said aperture, and said finger protruding from said grommet.

4. An electrical connector as set forth in claim 2, and further including:

a grommet having an aperture therein aligned with said passageway, said first contact extending into said aperture and said finger extending beyond said grommet.

5. An electrical connector for a wire having an inner conductor and a braid surrounding said conductor and an insulating material positioned between said braid and said conductor, said connector comprising:

a first outer contact including an outwardly extending finger for connection to said inner conductor, a second outer contact positioned over said insulating material and spaced from said first contact, said second outer contact extending at one end thereof beneath said braid, a sleeve positioned over said braid to secure said braid against said second contact, said second contact including outwardly extending ears spaced therearound, and a boot received over said first outer contact, said boot having an aperture at one end thereof, and said finger protruding from said aperture.

6. An electrical connector for a wire having an inner conductor and a braid surrounding said conductor and an insulating material positioned between said braid and said conductor, said connector comprising:

a first outer contact including an outwardly extending finger crimped to said inner conductor, a second outer contact positioned around said insulating material, spaced from said first contact, said second contact extending at one end thereof beneath said braid, a sleeve positioned over said braid and crimping together said braid and said second contact, said second contact including outwardly extending ears spaced therearound, and a boot provided over said first contact, said boot having an aperture at one end thereof, said finger extending from said aperture.

7. An electrical connector as set forth in claim 5, and further including:

plate means having a passageway therethrough, said passageway provided with a plurality of grooves for alignment with said ears, and a raised ledge portion between said grooves.

8. An electrical connector as set forth in claim 6, and further including:

plate means having a passageway therethrough, said pAssageway having a plurality of grooves for alignment with said ears, and a raised ledge portion between said grooves.

9. An electrical connector as set forth in claim 7, and further including:

spring contact means connected to said finger.

10. An electrical connector as set forth in claim 8, and further including:

spring contact means connected to said finger.
