Claim 1
Independent Claim
153 words
1 . A coaxial connector of the plug type comprising a spring contact member (16) having a tubular section (54) and leaf spring contact members (58) including bent back sections {62), an outer shell member (18) in which said spring contact member (16) is positioned with the bent back sections (62) extending along the outer shell member (18), the front end of the outer shell member (18) being curved inwardly forming an entrance to the leaf spring contact members (58), and a dielectric member (12, 12A) carrying a center contact member (20) positioned within the tubular section (54) of the spring contact member (16), characterized in that an inner shell member (14, 14A) extends between said tubular section (54) and said dielectric member (12, 12A) and includes a ferrule section (46, 124) onto which an outer conductor (30) of a coaxial cable (24) is crimped thereto by a crimping ferrule member (22, 22A).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

1 . A coaxial connector of the plug type comprising a spring contact member (16) having a tubular section (54) and leaf spring contact members (58) including bent back sections {62), an outer shell member (18) in which said spring contact member (16) is positioned with the bent back sections (62) extending along the outer shell member (18), the front end of the outer shell member (18) being curved inwardly forming an entrance to the leaf spring contact members (58), and a dielectric member (12, 12A) carrying a center contact member (20) positioned within the tubular section (54) of the spring contact member (16), characterized in that an inner shell member (14, 14A) extends between said tubular section (54) and said dielectric member (12, 12A) and includes a ferrule section (46, 124) onto which an outer conductor (30) of a coaxial cable (24) is crimped thereto by a crimping ferrule member (22, 22A).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
47 words
A coaxial connector as set forth in claim 1 characterized in that said inner shell member (14) and said dielectric member (12) have an inwardly-directed projection (50) and an annular recess (42) engaging each other thereby securing said dielectric member (12) in said inner shell member (14).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
43 words
A coaxial connector as set forth in claim 1 characterized in that said tubular section (54) includes openings (56) in which parts of said outer shell member (18) extend when said outer shell member (18) is crimpably secured onto said tubular section (54).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
56 words
A coaxial connector as set forth in claim 1 characterized in that said ferrule section (46) is coaxial relative to said inner shell member (14), said center contact member (20) is crimped onto an end of a center conductor (26) of the coaxial cable (24) and enclosed within a bore (38) of said dielectric member (12).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
77 words
A coaxial connector as set forth in claim 1 characterized in that said ferrule section (124) is at right angles to the axis of said inner shell member (14A) said center contact member (20A) is secured in a bore (38A) in said dielectric member (12A) and includes a conductor-receiving section (130) in axial alignment with the axis of said ferrule section (124) to receive an end of a center conductor (26) of the coaxial cable (24) therein.
