  • Patent number: 7682177
    Abstract: A connector comprising: a body for plugging in or on the body of a complementary connector along a plugging axis X-X?; connection means for co-operating with complementary connection means of the complementary connector so as to connect together electrical or optical conductors; and a locking sleeve that surrounds the body of the connector and that is adapted to co-operate with the body of the connector and with locking means provided by the complementary connector in such a manner as to block relative movement between the connector and the complementary connector in the plugging direction, the locking sleeve being movable in rotation about the axis relative to the body of the connector between an unlocking position in which the connectors can be separated and a locking position in which the connectors cannot be separated; wherein the connector includes a brake ring that co-operates with the body of the connector by being movable at least in rotation about the axis between a braking position in which the r

  • Patent number: 7416418
    Abstract: A coaxial connector for interconnecting two printed circuit cards, the connector comprising a cylindrical first connector element designed to be secured at one end to a first printed circuit card, and a second cylindrical connector element designed to come into contact via one end with a second printed circuit card, each connector element having a central contact and an outer contact separated by insulation, resilient means being interposed between the first and second connector elements and urging the central and outer contacts of the second connector element towards the second printed circuit card. The connector has annular bearing surfaces offset radially outwards from the central contact bodies and co-operating therewith to define a first volume in which a first spring is mounted, and annular bearing surfaces offset radially inwards from the outer contact bodies and co-operating therewith to define a second volume in which a second spring is mounted.
