Abstract
Abstract A coaxial electrical connector of the type for connection with a center conductor (54) and multiple outer conductors (78, 88) of coaxial cable (12) comprises an inner contact assembly (18,163) and an outer contact assembly (26,146). A center contact member (16, 152) is connected to center conductor (54) and secured in an inner dielectric member (22, 156). A crimping member (80, 150) crimps inner conductor (78) to inner contact member (78, 88) and inner contact assembly (18, 163) is positioned within outer contact assembly (26,146). Outercontact member (28,144) includes a crimping section (94, 172) and sealing section (14,144) which has a sealing member (48,140) disposed within a recess (46,142). A crimping ferrule member (14, 148) is positioned along crimping section (94, 172) so that crimping section (94, 172) is crimped onto crimping ferrule member (14, 148) with outer conductor (88) therebetween.
