| 1. A coaxial cable end connector for electrically and mechanically connecting a coaxial cable to an electronic device, the
coaxial cable having a central conductor, an insulator surrounding the central conductor, at least one layer of braided conducting
sheath surrounding the insulator, and a jacket surrounding the braided conducting sheath; the end connector comprising:
a hollow inner sleeve adapted to receive the central conductor and the insulator of the coaxial cable therein;
a hollow outer sleeve coaxial with the inner sleeve to define an annular space between the outer and the inner sleeve for
receiving the braided conducting sheath and the jacket of the coaxial cable therein;
the outer sleeve including a main body, on which at least two diametrically opposite transverse slots are provided;
a clamping structure mounted in the transverse slots on the main body of the outer sleeve, such that the clamping structure
may be moved toward a center of the outer sleeve and accordingly the jacket of the coaxial cable in a direction perpendicular
to the coaxial cable; and
a plurality of teeth formed at a bottom surface of the clamping structure for tightly pressing against and connecting to the
jacket of the coaxial cable when the coaxial cable has been fully inserted into the inner and the outer sleeve and the clamping
structure is moved to the center of the outer sleeve.
