Abstract: The connector of the invention is particularly suited for use in combination with a coaxial cable and an equipment port having an internal first conductor. The end connector of the invention includes a connector element, a deflecting unit and a component interlocking unit. The connector element has one end adapted to be secured to the coaxial cable and includes a tubular connector wall at an opposite end surrounding a second electrical conductor. The connector wall is configured and dimensioned to axially receive a tubular port wall therein, with the first and second conductors being normally spaced one from the other. The deflecting unit is responsive to axial reception of the port wall in the connector wall for deflecting one of the conductors into electrical contact with the other of the conductors. The interlocking unit is associated with the port and connector walls for establishing an interlocked relationship between the equipment port and the connector element.
