1. An electrical connector plug for terminating semirigid coaxial cable, comprising:

  • center contact means in electrical engagement with a center conductor of said cable;

    a bored tubular shell member having rearward bore means of relatively large inner diameter inwardly contoured toward forward bore means having a relatively smaller inner diameter dimensioned to receive said cable and said contact means therethrough;

    external coupling means engaging said tubular member;

    bored gripping means having a rearward collar portion dimensioned to closely receive said cable therethrough, and having a plurality of spline fingers extending forward from the periphery of said collar portion defining therebetween a profiled opening of a dimension substantially equal to said cable diameter, and said gripping means being rearwardly disposed of said tubular member, whereby,upon moving said gripping means forwardly into said rearward bore means, said spline fingers are resiliently deflected inwardly along said contour to embed into an outer conductive layer of said cable, said tubular shell member having longitudinal grooves within rearward walls defining said rearward bore means, said grooves engaging said gripping means collar portion for resisting rotational motion of said gripping means within said tubular shell member.
