For Receiving Coaxial Connector Patents (Class 439/63)
  • Patent number: 8152534
    Abstract: A connector comprises a coaxial connector and two metallic blocks. The coaxial connector has an outer conductor, a dielectric material, a mounting wall, and a center conductor. The space between the two conductors of the coaxial connector is filled with the dielectric material. The center conductor is extended from the inside of the coaxial connector to the other side of the mounting wall. The two metallic blocks are split from a metallic plate with a circular through hole in the center by milling across the plate at a proper position. Both metallic blocks are attached to the mounting wall of the coaxial connector with the extended center conductor placed in the center of the original through hole and surrounded by the recesses of the two blocks. Hence, the connector improves the transmission passband of a transition between a coaxial cable and a microstrip line at high frequencies.

Mounting brackets are attached between the cable shield and shield contacts using electrically conductive attachment techniques including soldering and laser welding. The PCB also includes one or more signal contacts for each cable. Distal ends of the internal conductors are each bent about 90 degrees from the vertical cable axis to align with the horizontal engagement surface. Internal conductors are surface mounted to their respective signal contact using one or more of soldering and laser welding.

  • Patent number: 8087940
    Abstract: A coaxial electric connector includes primarily a dielectric shell and a housing unit which is in an arc shape. The dielectric shell is formed by extrusion formation based on the housing unit and defines an annular space, with a predetermined wall being formed with two fixing sections to define the arc according to the housing unit. Besides, a bottom of the dielectric shell is a dielectric base and an interior of the dielectric shell contains additionally a conductor, a position of which is fixed by the dielectric base. A conductor pin on the conductor, whereas, is extended outward from the dielectric base. Through wrapping of the dielectric shell, the housing unit increases roundness of the entire housing and decreases scratching on a surface of metal part, which occurs when manufacturing the products, thereby improving a yield rate and a service life of the products.

  • Patent number: 7867026
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an electrical connector having a body, three connector ends and a plurality of electrically conductive elements passing through the body. The electrically conductive elements are spaced-apart from a central axis of one of the connector ends and collinear with one of the two remaining conductor ends. Specifically, the body extends from a first aperture, terminating in two spaced-apart termini, each of which includes an aperture, defining second and third apertures. A first volume extends between the first and second apertures, and a second volume extends between the first and third apertures. A first subset of a plurality of spaced-apart electrically conductive elements extends through the first volume. A second subset of the plurality of spaced-apart electrically conductive elements extends through the second volume.
