Abstract: An electrical connector assembly for connection to a coaxial cable having a housing with a rear tubular metallic member having a pair of radially raised portions separated by a recessed peripheral surface portion for receiving the outer shield of the cable and an outer sleeve with an outwardly expandable section which is slid over one of the raised portions and shield and resiliently closes inwardly to press the shield against the recessed surface portion and axially retained between the pair of raised portions. An inner passageway in the tubular metallic member permits passage of the inner conductor and insulating member of the cable to within the connector housing. The sleeve is further provided with an enlarged front flange which acts with a flange on the housing to secure a radial portion of the shield and further acts with a front outwardly raised projection on the housing to axially retain a coupling ring on the housing.
