Abstract: A connector secured to a coaxial cable having a conducting core. The connector includes a housing having a body having a central vertical axis and defining a chamber extending along the central vertical axis, a dielectric disposed in the chamber of the housing; and a signal contact disposed in the chamber of the housing and held by the dielectric. The signal contact includes a head having a top face and an opposite bottom face, a ferrule member projecting away from the top face of the head, and a pin projecting away from the bottom face of the head. The ferrule member includes a passage extending in a direction transverse to the central vertical axis, and the passage receives a terminating portion of the conducting core. The ferrule member is crimped to the terminating portion of the conducting core.
