1. A connector for coaxial cable having a helically corrugated outer conductor and an inner conductor, comprising:

  • a connector interface at a connector end side of the connector, coupled to a hollow cylindrical body with an inner surface having an internal helical groove section at a cable end side of the connector and a stop in the hollow cylindrical body proximate the connector end side of the internal helical groove section which extends radially inward, a deformation groove between the stop and the internal helical groove section;

    the internal helical groove section and the stop configured to mate with the helically corrugated outer conductor, whereby the body is threadable onto the outer conductor until the outer conductor contacts the stop;

    the body having a plurality of ridges on an outer surface of the body axially aligned with the internal helical groove section; and

    an inner contact located coaxially within the body, the inner contact having a socket contact section at the cable end side, dimensioned for insertion of the inner conductor and electrical connection therewith.
