Abstract: A fluid level gauge assembly for measuring a level of a fluid in a fluid container is provided. The fluid level gauge assembly includes a first coaxial cable section having a first end and a second end, the first coaxial cable section including a first center conductor, a first outer conductor and a solid dielectric between the first center and outer conductor; a second coaxial cable section having a first end and a second end, the second coaxial cable section including a second center conductor, a second outer conductor and an air dielectric between the second center and outer conductor; and a coupling between the second end of the first coaxial cable section and the first end of the second coaxial cable section. The second coaxial cable section being disposed in a fluid for determining a level of the fluid.

Abstract: A coaxial connector assembly is provided with first and second coaxial connectors. A tubular adaptor is threaded engaged with external threads on the first connector, and includes a locking groove in an outer circumferential surface. A lock body surrounds the second connector, and includes a mating end with a plurality of resiliently deflectable fingers. Each finger includes an inwardly projecting lock bead that engages the lock groove on the adaptor when the connectors are mated. The lock body further includes an annular lock groove in an outer surface. A locking ring surrounds the lock body and includes a forward end which surrounds the resilient fingers of the lock body. The locking ring further includes rearwardly extending fingers that releaseably engage the lock groove in the lock body. The locking ring can be moved between forward and rearward positions.
