A direct-crimp coaxial cable connector having a captive inner pin contact includes a tubular main body which extends from the front end which serves as an outer ring contact to the rear end where the tubular main body is crimped over the cable braid of a coaxial cable. A crimp ring is provided inside the rear end of the tubular main body and secures the cable braid of the coaxial cable against a ferrule which is inserted between the cable braid and the cable dielectric prior to crimping. The ferrule captivates an insulator ring and an inner pin contact which are rear-loaded into the tubular main body of the connector prior to crimping. A cylindrical contact insulator is secured inside the front end of the tubular main body, separates the inner pin contact from the front end of the tubular main body and secures the inner pin contact in combination with the insulator ring and ferrule. Threads are provided on the inside surface of the ferrule to hold the ferrule in position during crimping, to help provide positive contact to the tubular main body and to captivate the insulator ring and inner pin contact.

A coaxial cable connector having an inner conductor separated from a cable braid of a cable dielectric having a dielectric diameter, the cable braid being encased by a cable jacket having a jacket diameter, said connector comprising: a tubular main body of a malleable and electrically conductive material, having a first inner diameter larger than the packet diameter of the cable jacket; insulating means, locatable inside said tubular main body for providing electrical insulation between said tubular main body and the inner conductor of the coaxial cable; and a ferrule, locatable inside said tubular main body, of an electrically conductive material, said ferrule having an axial bore substantially larger than the dielectric diameter of the cable dielectric and an exterior surface with a front end having a maximum outer diameter, a center section with an outer diameter smaller than the maximum outer diameter and a rear end at which the outer diameter of the center section tapers rearwardly toward the axial bore, said connector being attachable to the coaxial cable by inserting said ferrule between the cable braid and the cable dielectric, inserting said insulating means into said tubular main body and sliding said tubular main body over said ferrule and the coaxial cable, then crimping said tubular main body to exert axially directed pressure to hold the cable braid against the front end of said ferrule.
