Abstract:
A coaxial connector mountable on an end of a coaxial cable having a central conductor (cc) and an exterior conductor (ce), the connector comprising a first conductive contact element (2; 27; 38; 40) for contacting the central conductor (cc), a second conductive contact element (4; 21; 302; 411) for contacting the exterior conductor (ce) electrically isolated from the first contact element, a clamping member (5; 22; 42) opposing the second contact element for clamping the exterior conductor against the second contact element and a force applying member (6; 23; 441) for forcing the clamping member and the second contact element towards each other, wherein the second contact element and/or the clamping member comprise at least one deforming member (502; 222-223; 423-424) for deforming the exterior conductor (ce) under influence of the force applying member, wherein each deforming member (502; 222-223; 423- 424) is constructed in a material with a predetermined hardness above that of the material of the exterior conductor and has a predetermined shape for hardening a portion of the exterior conductor to such an extent that it becomes substantially fully elastic.

Abstract:
The invention concerns a method for connecting coaxial cables provided with an internal conductor (14) and an external conductor (10) separated by a dielectric (16) by connecting a front body (4) fixing the cable to a rear body (8), while a ferrule (1) maintaining the cable and a socket (2) co-operate to enable an axial displacement over a predetermined distance (L) of the ferrule and the cable relative to the socket, so as to cause a deformation of the external conductor (10) which can be reproduced. The invention further discloses several embodiments of connectors designed for this connection method.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a method for preparing coaxial cables by cutting the length of the external conductor, of the dielectric and of the central conductor, the cable being first cut perpendicularly to its axis, and then treated with a tool provided with a blade (3) for shearing the sheath, while a guide (7) is supported on the central conductor and under the action of a positioning and stop device (8), (9), (10), one or several additional blade(s) (5), respectively (14), (15), cut(s) the external conductor, the dielectric and the internal conductor, and optionally the external conductor is treated with a flaring tool. The invention also concerns a tool designed for said method for preparing coaxial cables, comprising a blade (3) for shearing the sheath; a guide (7) capable of being supported on the central conductor; a positioning and stop device (8), (9), (10); one or several additional blade(s) (5), respectively (14), (15), for cutting the external conductor, the dielectric and the internal conductor.
