The TE Connectivity 201142-2 is a retention spring from the Coaxicon series, designed to secure coax contacts within their housing. Made from stainless steel with a silver finish, it provides the mechanical retention and corrosion resistance needed for RF interconnect assemblies where the contact must stay seated under vibration or cable strain. This is not a connector body or a terminal — it is the spring that locks the coax contact in place, so the BOM line should be matched to the housing and contact order codes, not treated as a standalone connector.
Stainless Steel Body — Field-Service Fit
The stainless steel body provides mechanical retention for coax contacts under vibration or cable strain. Silver finish is the standard appearance for this series.
Compatibility — Which Contacts It Fits
The 201142-2 is listed for use with Coaxicon contacts. That covers the standard coax terminal range in the series — not every coax contact from every manufacturer, but the TE Coaxicon family. If the BOM already carries a Coaxicon contact and housing, this spring is the retention piece that completes the assembly. No cross-reference to a different series or brand is on record.
