  • Publication number: 20030129870
    Abstract: A miniature BNC connector assembly having reduced dimensions includes a plug-side connector configured for engagement with a jack-side connector to form an electrical connection. The plug-side connector includes a plug-side connector body and a bayonet sleeve rotatably connected to the connector body. The bayonet sleeve has an outer diameter not greater than approximately half an inch.

  • Patent number: 6561841
    Abstract: An indicator for a mating connector pair provides a visual indication when a plug-side connector is fully engaged with a jack-side connector. The plug-side connector is configured for engagement with the jack-side connector to form an electrical connection. The plug-side connector includes a connector body and a bayonet sleeve rotatably connected to the connector body. The sleeve includes two slots which are configured for engagement with corresponding lugs on the jack-side connector. The indicator is located on the sleeve and aligns with a reference point when the slots in the sleeve are fully engaged with the lugs of the jack-side connector. The indicator may be a substantially V-shaped notch, a dimple, a ridge or a lug.

  • Patent number: 6390825
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a conductive casing and a conductive probe disposed within the casing. The probe may be in a concentric relationship with the casing. The probe is insulated from the casing as by a first insulating sleeve which may be disposed in a concentric relationship with the casing and the probe. A first electrical assembly such as a first printed circuit board has an opening for a disposition of the casing in the opening in the board in an insulated relationship with the board. A first end of the probe may pass through an opening in the first sleeve for connection to a terminal external to the connector. A second end of the probe may pass through an opening in a second insulating sleeve disposed in the casing and then may pass through an opening in a second electrical assembly such as a second printed circuit board in an insulated relationship to the casing. A plug may be disposed within the casing to position the second insulator fixedly within the casing.
