Abstract: A coaxial cable coupling made up of a plug and a socket. The plug comprises a hollow shell open at its ends, which receives an insulation washer. The insulation washer receives a hollow pin having a cylindrical wall which has a flange on one end and outwardly extending protrusions which receives the washer between them and holds the washer in place. Four indentations in the cylindrical pin extending inwardly grip a conductor and thereby electrically connect the pin to an electrical line. The pin is adapted to be received in a tubular connector on a socket having a hollow shell.

Abstract: A coaxial connector is described which has an improved plug pin and shell construction wherein the conventional machined pins and shells are replaced with stamped and drawn members providing for simpler manufacture, improved electrical and spring retention characteristics, and improved and simplified wire connections. In particular, the plug pin is hollow and is fixedly mounted in the plug shell, and the conductor is attached to the pin by a front end crimping of the hollow pin after the conductor is slipped into the pin.
