Abstract: A solderless plug-in coaxial connector attachment is provided. Elements are configured to engage and capture a coaxial grounding layer (or braid) as the connector is installed on the cable. The engagements between elements enhance axial and radial captivation for mechanical robustness and electrical connectivity while minimizing the overall length of the connector. An installation tool aids in the installation of the coaxial connector.

Abstract: Cable connector installation tools are provided. In one aspect, a tool includes removable nubs configured to set trim distances from the end of a cable to a blade in the tool. In another aspect, a tool includes jaws configured to force end connector components together, one of which being temporarily engaged by an interface nub.

Abstract: Coaxial cable adapters and connectors are provided that are particularly suited for use in high power applications. A flowable insulator filling a cavity within the adapters and connectors improves heat conduction from inner conductors outwards while providing electrical insulation around the inner conductors.

Abstract: A coaxial adapter comprises an adapter body which includes a forward projecting member aligned along a connector axis. The adapter also includes an outer contact fixed to the adapter body such that a first electrical connection is made between the outer contact and the adapter body by the fixation. A dielectric is disposed at least partially within an internal bore of the adapter body or an internal bore of the outer contact and an inner contact is disposed at least partially within an internal bore of the dielectric. The forward projecting member of the adapter body makes a second electrical connection with the outer contact separate from the first electrical connection, there being no electrical connection between the adapter body and the outer contact between the first electrical connection and the second electrical connection.

Abstract: A hermetic adapter includes an adapter body, a hermetic seal disposed between the adapter body and a pin, a contact connected to the pin which is disposed within a dielectric, the dielectric being disposed within the adapter body. A sealing ring is press-fit into the adapter body and includes a sharp edge configured to deform a surface of an external adapter to which the hermetic adapter is attachable.

Abstract: A coaxial angled adapter includes a first adapter body, a first dielectric disposed within the first adapter body and a first inner contact within the first dielectric. An outer contact is attached to the first adapter body outside the first dielectric and provides electrical shielding and mechanical retention of components. A second adapter body may be attached to the first adapter body such that an axis of the first adapter body and an axis of the second adapter body form a non-zero angle therebeween. A second dielectric may be provided within the second adapter, and a second inner contact may be provided within the second dielectric. The second dielectric and second inner contact may engage the first dielectric and first inner contact, respectively.

Abstract: A clockable cable adapter includes a termination body, a clocking body and a retaining member configured to retain the clocking body to the termination body. Rotation of the clocking body and an external adapter partially engaged therewith is permitted, while rotation of the clocking body and external adapter is fixed when the clocking body is fully engaged with the external adapter. A cable assembly includes a cable fixed to a clockable adapter and an external adapter engaged with the clockable adapter.
