Abstract
Abstract According to the invention a coaxial connector comprises a conductive outer shell 2 for releasable connection with an electrical coaxial cable 7, a dielectric body 3 coaxially surrounded by the outer shell 2 with a compression fit, and a conductive center contact 4 coaxially surrounded by the dielectric body 3, a recess 27 in the periphery of the dielectric body 3 encircles the dielectric body 3 and is aligned with openings 25 extending through the thickness of the outer shell 2, and a solidifiable material 24 in the recess 27 adheres to the outer shell 2 to form a rigid collar 29 projecting radially inward to engage the dielectric body 3 and resist movement of the dielectric body 3.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
101 words
A coaxial connector comprising; a dielectric body coaxially surrounded by an outer shell with a compression fit, a conductive center contact coaxially surrounded by the dielectric body, a recess in and encircling the periphery of the dielectric body and facing the outer shell, an opening extending through the thickness of the outer shell and aligned with the recess, and a solidifiable material in the opening and filling the recess and adhering to the outer shell to form a rigid collar projecting radially inward to engage and encircle the dielectric body and resist movement of the dielectric body relative to the shell.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
101 words
A coaxial connector comprising; a dielectric body coaxially surrounded by an outer shell with a compression fit, a conductive center contact coaxially surrounded by the dielectric body, a recess in and encircling the periphery of the dielectric body and facing the outer shell, an opening extending through the thickness of the outer shell and aligned with the recess, and a solidifiable material in the opening and filling the recess and adhering to the outer shell to form a rigid collar projecting radially inward to engage and encircle the dielectric body and resist movement of the dielectric body relative to the shell.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
A coaxial connector as recited in claim 1, wherein, the recess has a curved side wall.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
A coaxial connector as recited in claim 1, wherein, the recess has an arcuate portion and a straight portion intersecting the arcuate portion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
A coaxial connector as recited in claim 1, wherein, the dielectric body has a second recess in communication with the first recited recess, and the solidifiable material is in the second recess.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
A coaxial connector as recited in claim 4, wherein, the second recess extends radially inward of the dielectric body.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
45 words
A coaxial connector as recited in claims 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, wherein, a portion of the center contact has a knurled surface axially offset from the recess, and a portion of the dielectric body is flowed into interlocked engagement with the knurled surface.
