  • Patent number: 11942744
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a high-frequency connector. The method includes producing a basic body part from a dielectric material by means of an additive manufacturing method. The basic body part has a bushing between a first end and a second end of a longitudinal extent of the basic body part and an end face at the first end for making contact with a mating connector. In addition, the method includes coating the dielectric basic body part with an electrically conductive layer and removing the electrically conductive layer in a region surrounding the bushing in each case at the end face at the first end and at the second end of the basic body part so as to form an electrically conductive coating on the outer conductor side and an electrically conductive coating on the inner conductor side. The present invention also relates to a high-frequency connector.

  • Patent number: 10658780
    Abstract: A contact system (100; 100?; 100?) contains at least one pneumatically activated contact pin (121, 122, 123), a pressure chamber (1) and a first leadthrough (37; 37?) which is in each case provided for each contact pin (121, 122, 123) in a housing (2) of the pressure chamber (1). Each contact pin (121, 122, 123) in each case has a first portion (141) with a first outer diameter and a second portion (142) which adjoins the first portion (141) and has a second outer diameter which is larger than the first outer diameter. Each first leadthrough (37; 37?) has a first portion (131; 131?) which faces away from the pressure chamber (1) and has a first inner diameter, and a second portion (132; 132?) which faces the pressure chamber (1) and has a second inner diameter which is larger than the first inner diameter. The second portion (142) of each contact pin (121, 122, 123) is guided in an axially movable manner in the second portion (132; 132?) of the first leadthrough (37; 37?).

  • Patent number: 9698502
    Abstract: A coaxial plug connection having a coaxial plug connector and a counter plug connector. The coaxial plug connector having an inner conductor, an outer conductor which surrounds the inner conductor, and a bayonet nut which is arranged so as to be rotatable relative to the outer conductor and which forms a locking groove for accommodating a projection of a counter plug connector. The locking groove is disposed in the form of a helical groove and the bayonet nut has first and second bayonet nut parts that each form one side of the helical groove, wherein the bayonet nut parts can be displaced relatively to each other in longitudinal axial direction of the coaxial plug connector in order to clamp the projection of the counter plug connector in the helical groove, and wherein the bayonet nut parts can be fixed in position relative to each other by a fixing element.
