Two-piece and three-piece coaxial cable connectors having common components. Both structures include a connector assembly having first and second sets of circumferential threads, a contact, supported inside the connector assembly via an insulator, having a receiving element and extending from a front end of the assembly, and a collet, retained in a rear end of the assembly, having a ramp surface corresponding to a chamfer of the receiving element. Both structures also include a rear nut assembly that includes a pair of grips that are radially outwardly biased toward an inside surface of the rear nut assembly, which grips cooperate with a sleeve to grip an outer sheath of a coaxial cable and permit unfettered insertion and removal of a coaxial cable end. In the two-piece structure the sleeve is retained inside the rear nut assembly. In the three-piece structure, the sleeve is part of a center nut assembly.
