1. A coaxial quick connector assembly comprising:

  • an inner connector body having a first end adapted to couple with a coaxial cable and a second end having a perimeter contact adapted to releasably engage with an external surface of an externally threaded coaxial coupling;

    the perimeter contact in electrical communication with a conductive layer of the coaxial cable and including at least one perimeter wall defining a central passageway at least partially surrounding a coaxial center wire, the at least one perimeter wall having at least one protrusion projecting toward the central passageway;

    an outer connector body in mechanical communication with the inner connector body and positionable between an engaged position and a disengaged position;

    wherein when the perimeter contact is engaged with the externally threaded coaxial coupling and the outer connector body is moved to the engaged position, an interior surface of the outer connector body limits movement of the at least one protrusion by impinging the at least one protrusion between the interior surface of the outer connector body and the external surface of the externally threaded coaxial coupling such that the assembly is held in place with respect to the threaded coaxial coupling.
