Coaxial connector structurally configured to separate two portions of the connector that provide radial compression to prevent damage to the connector and / or cable during disassembly

Abstract

A coaxial connector structurally configured to prevent damage to the connector and / or a cable during disassembly may include a first body portion, a second body portion configured to couple to the first body portion, a conductor receiving portion associated with the second body portion and configured to electrically couple to a center conductor portion of a coaxial cable, a seizure portion configured to urge the conductor receiving portion radially inward to apply a gripping force onto the center conductor portion when the first body portion is being coupled with the second body portion, and a seizure portion retaining portion configured to reduce the gripping force between the seizure portion and the conductor receiving portion when the first body portion is being uncoupled from the second body portion to permit the center conductor portion to be removed from the conductor receiving portion to prevent damage to a coaxial connector and / or a cable.
