Abstract: A coaxial-cable-assembly includes a coaxial-cable and a tubular-ferrule. The coaxial-cable includes an outer-jacket and an exposed outer-shield conductor. The tubular-ferrule includes a crimp-zone, a skirt-zone, and a transition-zone therebetween. The tubular-ferrule defines a relief-slot having an open-end, a closed-end, and two parallel-edges that extend from the crimp-zone to the skirt-zone. The crimp-zone is brought into forcible contact with the exposed outer-shield conductor by drawing the two parallel-edges into close proximity, such that a crimp-zone-diameter is reduced to less than a skirt-zone-diameter. As a result, the closed-end of the relief-slot forms an aperture in a junction of the transition-zone and the skirt-zone.

Abstract: The C-type female connector contains at least a C-shaped clamp. The C-shaped clamp contains a base, one or two flexible arm pieces extended from the base's lateral sides toward each other, respectively, thereby forming a C shape. Along a slit between front edges of the arm pieces, each arm piece has a flexible contact section. The C-shaped clamp further contains a plug piece for positioning extended from a bottom edge, and a contact piece for establishing electrical connection extended from a top edge, of the base. The connector is structurally simple, efficient to assemble, more reliable, and has highly improved yield.

In one embodiment, the tabs are canted about a radially extending line to lie in a plane oblique to the plane of the ring and project below a lower surface of the ring such that sharp edges of the tabs are urged into contact with the surface to which the terminal stack is bolted. In another embodiment, the tabs are stair-step shaped and extend only above an upper surface of the ring.
