An adaptor assembly which functions as an extender for coaxial cable connectors. The adaptor assembly includes a support element which provides for support and isolation of a terminal within an assembly housing and minimizes electrical signal degradation by providing only a minimal amount of dielectric material to support the terminal within the housing. Additionally, a metal bushing is provided as part of an auto-seizing assembly and prevents lock-up of the adaptor assembly during installation of the assembly onto a coaxial cable connector.
