A coaxial cable connector includes a connector housing, a back nut threadingly
engaging a rearward end of the connector housing, a ferrule gripping and advancing
an end of the coaxial cable into the connector housing as the back nut is tightened,
and an insulator member positioned within a medial portion of the connector housing.
The insulator member may have a bore extending therethrough and include a forward
disk portion, a rearward disk portion, a ring portion connecting the forward and
disk portions together, and a tubular outer conductor support portion extending
rearwardly from the rearward disk portion for supporting an interior surface of
the outer conductor of the end of the coaxial cable. The insulator member may an
integrally formed monolithic member and the ring portion may have a reduced strength
portion therein.
