Easily assembled coaxial cable and connector with rear body
First Claim
1. A coaxial cable-connector assembly, comprising:
- (a) a coaxial cable, comprising;
an inner conductor;
a dielectric layer circumferentially surrounding the inner conductor;
an outer conductor circumferentially surrounding the dielectric layer; and
a jacket circumferentially surrounding the outer conductor;
(b) a coaxial connector, comprising;
an inner contact electrically connected with the inner conductor;
an outer body spaced apart from and circumferentially surrounding the inner contact; and
a dielectric spacer interposed between the inner contact and the outer body;
(c) a rear body having a main section, a rear collet extending rearwardly from the main section, and a front engagement structure that coordinates with the outer body to engage the outer conductor; and
(d) a nut having a threaded section and a tapered inner surface;
wherein engagement of the nut with a threaded section on one of the rear body and the outer body advances the nut forwardly so that the tapered inner surface of the nut deflects the rear collet to engage the cable jacket andwherein the rear body includes a shoulder, and an end of the cable jacket engages the shoulder.

Abstract
A coaxial cable-connector assembly comprising: (a) a coaxial cable; (b) a coaxial connector; (c) a rear body; and (d) a coupling nut. The coaxial cable comprises: an inner conductor; a dielectric layer circumferentially surrounding the inner conductor; an outer conductor circumferentially surrounding the dielectric layer; and a jacket circumferentially surrounding the outer conductor. The coaxial connector comprises: an inner contact electrically connected with the inner conductor; an outer body spaced apart from and circumferentially surrounding the inner contact; and a dielectric spacer interposed between the inner contact and the outer body. The rear body has a main section, a rear collet extending rearwardly from the main section, and a front engagement structure that coordinates with the outer body to engage the outer conductor. The nut has a threaded section and a tapered inner surface. Engagement of the nut with a threaded section on one of the rear body and the outer body advances the nut forwardly so that the tapered inner surface of the nut deflects the rear collet to engage the cable jacket.
