  • Coaxial connector and method for connecting cable to same
    Patent number: 7399207
    Abstract: A connector is provided for electrically connecting a coaxial cable having a conductive inner wire surrounded by a conductive outer jacket and an insulator therebetween to a two-wire circuit. The connector comprises a conductive bottom contact member having a first passageway dimensioned to fit only the inner wire and the insulator therethrough and to block the conductive outer jacket. A conductive top contact member has a second passageway for the inner wire and the insulator and a clamping member for securing the inner wire to the top contact member. An insulating member for electrically separates the bottom contact member from the top contact member. A pendant-style light fixture using the coaxial connector is also disclosed.
