Abstract: An electrical connector adapted for interconnection with a helically corrugated outer conductor coaxial cable via axial compression. Threads formed in an interior bore of the connector body threadably engage helical corrugations of the outer conductor. Upon axial compression of an interface into an interference fit with the body, a leading edge of the outer conductor is deformed, creating a high quality uniform electrical interconnection and preventing unthreading of the cable from the connector. Gaskets environmentally sealing the various entry paths into the connector are also sealably compressed by the axial movement of the various connector components during axial compression.

Abstract: A connector and coaxial cable interconnectable via axial compression upon a cylindrical section of a solid outer conductor of the cable. The cylindrical section may be formed in the cable by drawing a cable end into an interference fit between a sleeve and an outer conductor seat formed in the connector body. Alternatively, the cylindrical section may be formed in the outer conductor during cable manufacture and the cylindrical section retained between the outer conductor seat and a crimp ring radially deformed by an angled die face during axial compression. To increase flexibility of a straight walled cable, annular corrugations may be formed in the solid outer conductor with the cylindrical sections at each corrugation peak. The cylindrical section having a length of at least 3 millimeters or 4 times the corrugation depth.

Abstract: A common ground assembly for a plurality of electrical cables with a ground strap having a plurality of cable retaining portions adapted to receive and contact the outer conductor of each electrical cable. Inwardly projecting lip edges may be formed in the cable retaining portions to retain each electrical cable within a cable retaining portion. The ground strap may be electrically isolated from surrounding structure by a support insulator and a retaining insulator with cable retaining portions adapted to further urge each outer conductor into electrical contact with a cable retaining portion. If integrated with a feedthrough in the form of a base plate with an aperture, a flange of the baseplate may support the support insulator and a fastening plate may be used to compress the retaining insulator towards the ground strap, the fastening plate dimensioned to cover the aperture.
