Abstract: A solderless connector for RF coaxial cables includes a body through which the center conductor extends and terminates in a tip insulatively mounted to the body which also receives an adapter plug having a ferrule rotatably mounted thereto and engaging the body to secure the braided shield of the coaxial cable to the body. A set screw extends radially into the adapter plug for engaging the exterior of the coaxial cable thereby preventing the inadvertent removal of the cable from the connector and increasing the mechanical strength of the coupling. A connector nut extends over the body and is adapted to couple the male connector to a corresponding female jack.
