Summary:The subject matter herein includes a method for assembling a coaxial cable connector, a crimping tool for assembling a coaxial cable connector, and a coaxial cable connector. The subject matter includes crimping an inner ferrule onto an exposed braid of the coaxial cable, folding back an exposed braid of the coaxial cable over the inner ferrule, and crimping an outer contact onto the folded-back exposed braid, wherein the outer contact has distinct constrictions of reduced diameter in predetermined functional zones to reduce elongation of the outer contact and compression of the cable. This subject matter reduces the need for multiple terminal components, streamlines the assembly process, and ensures reliable mechanical and electrical connections for diverse applications.
