  • a connection socket for receiving a core pin of the lead-in coaxial cable, said socket comprising a metallic hollow cylinder having at least a pair of slits therein so as to provide resiliency to the hollow cylinder and a cylindrical connection end spaced from said pair of slits, said connection end having pair of spaced apart fixing portions; and

    a connection pin having a U-shaped connection end that is slidably connected orthogonally onto said cylindrical connection end of said connection socket between said fixing portions, and having a round rod at its other end for insertion into a core socket of the second receptacle;

    said fixing portions being spaced apart a distance larger than a width of said U-shaped connection end so that said U-shaped connection end is laterally slidable on said cylindrical connection end between said fixing portions to change a position of said connection pin relative to said connection socket without breaking a connection therebetween.
