Coaxial cable connector
First Claim
1. A coaxial cable connector for mechanically and electrically connecting a coaxial cable to an electronic apparatus, the coaxial cable including a central conductor, an insulator surrounding the central conductor, a foil layer surrounding the insulator, at least one layer of braided conducting sheath surrounding the foil layer, and a jacket surrounding the at least one braided conducting sheath;
- the coaxial cable connector comprising;
a standard adapter including a hollow inner sleeve and a hollow outer sleeve coaxial with the inner sleeve; and
a mini adapter including an inner member mechanically and electrically associated with the central conductor of the coaxial cable;
a cylindrical housing having a first tubular end portion adapted to receive the central conductor, the insulator, and the foil layer of the coaxial cable therein, and a second tubular end portion adapted to receive the at least one braided conducting sheath and the jacket of the coaxial cable therein;
the first tubular end portion being externally formed with a plurality of elastic hooking portions correspondingly located around the inner member, and internally provided with a contact spring for mechanically associating with the foil layer of the coaxial cable;
whereby when the mini adapter is fully inserted into the standard adapter to associate therewith, the elastic hooking portions are compressed and radially inward moved by the inner sleeve of the standard adapter, urging the inner member of the mini adapter to tightly contact and clamp the central conductor of the coaxial cable, and the contact spring is also compressed by the inner sleeve of the standard adapter to mechanically and electrically contact and associate with the foil layer of the coaxial cable.

Abstract
A coaxial cable connector includes a standard and a mini adapter. The standard adapter includes coaxial hollow inner and outer sleeves. The mini adapter includes an inner member having a finger clamp; and a cylindrical housing having a first and a second tubular end portion. The first tubular end portion is externally formed of elastic hooking portions corresponding to the finger clamp in the mini adapter, and a plurality of long slots behind the elastic hooking portion. A contact spring is provided in the mini adapter with contact strips thereof received in the long slots. When the mini adapter is fully inserted into the standard adapter, the inner sleeve compresses the elastic hooking portions to thereby force the finger clamp to engage with a central conductor of the coaxial cable, and pushes the contact strips to mechanically and electrically engage with a foil layer of the coaxial cable.
