Abstract: A plug connector is disclosed which is particularly useful with a coaxial cable having alternating layers of braided shield and foil tape between an outer insulating plastic jacket and an inner dielectric covering a center conductor. The connector has a housing, with an internally threaded end having a predetermined thread pitch for manual "twist-on" connection to the outer plastic jacket of the cable, and a center contact having an internally threaded opening with a thread pitch different from that of the end of the housing. The center contact of the connector is designed to require greater "twist-on" torque, to effect a good connection to the center cable conductor, than that torque required to effect assembly of the connector housing and cable jacket.
