Abstract
Abstract Method and apparatus for providing a coaxial cable terminal, wherein, a sleeve of dielectric material supports a coaxial cable center conductor in electrically isolated relationship with respect to a conducting sleeve. The outer conducting shield of the coaxial cable is terminated to the conducting sleeve and the center conductor of the cable is electrically connected to a terminal externally of both the conducting sleeve and the dielectric sleeve. Ears extending from the conducting sleeve are adapted for forming a crimped open barrel which encircles and retains the outer conducting shield electrically to the conducting sleeve.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
80 words
A coaxial cable terminal comprising: a sleeve of conducting material, ear means on said sleeve for encircling and gripping a coaxial cable shield received over said sleeve, dielectric means in registration with said sleeve for receiving and supporting a center conductor of a coaxial cable, terminal means in registration with said dielectric means for receiving the center conductor, and means for electrically securing said terminal means to said center conductor externally of said dielectric means and externally of said sleeve.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
80 words
A coaxial cable terminal comprising: a sleeve of conducting material, ear means on said sleeve for encircling and gripping a coaxial cable shield received over said sleeve, dielectric means in registration with said sleeve for receiving and supporting a center conductor of a coaxial cable, terminal means in registration with said dielectric means for receiving the center conductor, and means for electrically securing said terminal means to said center conductor externally of said dielectric means and externally of said sleeve.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
The structure as recited in claim 1, wherein said ear means and said sleeve are joined by an integral web, with said sleeve being received generally internally of said ear means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
44 words
The structure as recited in claim 1, and further including: latching means on said dielectric means for retaining said dielectric means in registration with said sleeve, and latching means on said terminal means for retaining said terminal means in registration with said dielectric means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
The structure as recited in claim 1, and further including: retaining and alignment means connected to said ear portions and receiving and laterally supporting a portion of a coaxial cable.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
20 words
The structure as recited in claim 1, wherein said dielectric means is relatively larger in circumference than said ear means.
