Abstract Disclosed herein is an electrical connector for a coaxial cable which has in a through-hole for receiving the coaxial cable, a projecting positive terminal axially provided in the center and a plurality of projecting ground terminals axially provided in various radial directions in conformity with radiuses of outer conductors of various standards of coaxial cables. The positive terminal and the ground terminals are insulated from each other. The method comprises the steps of severing an end of the coaxial cable smoothly normal to the longitudinal axis thereof, axially moving the severed end of the coaxial cable into contact with the connector, connecting the positive terminal and the ground terminals of the connector axially with inner and outer conductors exposed on the severed end of the coaxial cable and securing the coaxial cable to the connector.
A method of electrically and mechanically connecting a coaxial cable having a central positive conductor and a circumferential ground shield radially spaced and insulated therefrom to an electrical connector having an axial bore for receiving said coaxial cable, a projecting positive terminal axially provided in the center and a plurality of ground terminals projecting axially opposite said positive terminal and spaced radially therefrom in conformity with radiuses of a plurality of concentric ground conductors in the cable of various standards of cable, said positive terminal and said ground terminals being insulated from each other, said method comprising the steps of: severing an end of said coaxial cable smoothly normal to the longitudinal axis thereof expossing only the end faces of said terminal and ground conductors; axially moving said severed end of said coaxial cable into contact with said electrical connector; connecting said positive terminal and said ground terminals of said wiring appliance axially with the central and ground conductors respectively exposed on said severed end of said coaxial cable; and securing said coaxial cable to said electrical connector.
