  • Patent number: 8641447
    Abstract: A coaxial connector includes a center contact electrically connected to a conductor of a cable. The center contact extends along a contact axis oriented generally perpendicular to an axis of the conductor of the cable. An outer contact has a cavity and the center contact is disposed in the cavity. The outer contact has a separable interface end and a terminating end. The separable interface end and terminating end are oriented generally perpendicular to one another. A dielectric insert is received in the cavity. The dielectric insert has a bore that receives and holds the center contact. The dielectric insert has structural features extending axially along an exterior of the dielectric insert, with air gaps defined between the structural features. The structural features engage the outer contact to secure the dielectric insert in the cavity.

  • Publication number: 20110076885
    Abstract: Contact tubes and coaxial cable fittings with the tubes, including barrel connectors, right angle connectors, and sockets. The elongated, tubular contact tube extends coaxially within each fitting, establishing at least one female juncture for receiving the center conductor projecting from a coaxial connector. The insulators and bushings center and retain the contact tube within the connectors. The contact tubes are rolled from beryllium, copper alloy sheets having slotted portions defined on one or both sheet ends. The slotted portions comprise a plurality of parallel, curved, slots, each of which borders curved metal strips. Half slots at the bottom and top of the slotted portions adjoin each other after rolling to form an additional slot.

  • Publication number: 20110021073
    Abstract: A connector includes a conductive member having a mating portion that is matable with a mating connector in a first direction. The mating portion includes a first part having a first end and a second part having a second end opposed to the first end in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction so as to form an annular portion. The first end and the second end form an opposed-end portion in which one of the first end and the second end is brought into contact with another of the first end and the second end to receive a force applied to the mating portion in a diagonal direction oblique to the first direction.

  • Patent number: 7874870
    Abstract: A coaxial cable connector includes a connection terminal having at least one resilient tongue section for supporting an internal conductor of a coaxial cable, and a metal case for supporting the connection terminal via an insulating member. The resilient tongue section of the connection terminal is able to provide a resilient restoring force in response to a pressing force of the insulating member, whereby the internal conductor of the coaxial cable can be retained between the insulating member and the resilient tongue section to establish electrical connection between the internal conductor of the coaxial cable and the connection terminal.

  • Publication number: 20100317226
    Abstract: A coaxial right-angle connector having a cable-side inner conductor part with two contact sections arranged at a distance from each other, parallel to a longitudinal axis of the cable-side inner conductor part, and in a plane perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the plug-side inner conductor part. The distance between the contact sections is larger than the pre-determined diameter of the rod of the plug-side inner conductor part. A plate-type contact element is arranged on each contact section. The plate-shaped contact elements are tipped respectively relatively to the contact sections in such a way that the free edges of the plate-shaped contact elements firm a long slit between each other. The distance between the free edges of the plate-shaped contact elements is smaller than the pre-determined diameter of the rod on the free end thereof.
