Abstract

A solderless audio connector plug including a handle, a plug body, and a conductive sheath having fingers flared outwardly with the free ends pointing inwardly. In assembly, the end of a coaxial cable is inserted through a bore in the handle, and then inserted into the sheath. The plug body is then screwed to the handle, and, as the two are drawn together, the sheath is forced into the bore of the handle. The bore tapers downwardly pushing the fingers inwardly to pierce the outer insulation layer of the coaxial cable. Further, a pointed end of a tip rod is aligned within the plug body to make contact with the center conductor of the coaxial cable. In such manner, electrical continuity is established between the outer conductor and the plug body, and also between the center conductor and the tip rod.
