Patent number: 7354294Abstract: A coaxial cable connector can be easily fitted to one or a plurality of coaxial cables, and that can secure an independent shield. Inner insulator exposed portions and outer conductor exposed portions of coaxial cables are matched with a first cable holder. A second cable holder is reversed on the first cable holder, and is engaged therewith. The engagement is further engaged with a housing. Central conductors of the inner insulator exposed portions are engaged with cuts of first contact elements. The outer conductor exposed portions are held in gripping conductors that are disposed inside the first cable holder. Gripping conductor extensions that are coupled with the gripping conductors are engaged with cuts of second contact elements. The contact elements are connected to external cable connection terminals that extend within a connection chamber of the housing.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2004Date of Patent: April 8, 2008Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Yoshihisa Kawate, Hiroyuki Matsuoka
