latch is placed over the connector body and pressed into the latched position when it is latched the cable is captured between the two connector halves and making electrical contact with the outside shield also while the connector top is being pressed into the latched position the center conductor and insulation are forced into the contact the contact penetrates the center insulation and the center conductor is forced into the slot in the contact thus making an electrical connection anytime after this connector is installed the coaxial cable connector assembly can be snapped on the radio printed circuit board or any other application that requires coaxial cable the connector is mechanically attached to the device by means of cantilever type beams extending from the connector top and protruding into special hook slots in the device the center conductor makes electrical connection by the contact touching the feed pad on the device the shield makes contact through a second contact to the printed circuit board referring first to fig1 a coaxial cable connector 5 constructed in accordance with the present invention is shown connector 5 is shown unattached to either a device such as a printed circuit board or a transmission line such as a coaxial cable connector 5 is shown closed and may be latched or locked in the closed position as will be explained further below in this embodiment coaxial cable connector 5 may be electrically and mechanically attached to a printed circuit board radio antenna or any other device requiring connection to a coaxial cable fig4 shows coaxial cable connector 5 attached to a printed circuit board 8 and a coaxial cable 7 an electrical connection between coaxial cable connector 5 and printed circuit board 8 is established.
