  • Patent number: 9060454
    Abstract: The invention relates to a printed circuit board arrangement (20) having at least two printed circuit boards (11; 12?), which are located alongside one another on a common, electrically conductive base plate (13?), have two mutually opposite edges, forming an intermediate space (14), and are connected to one another, bridging the intermediate space (14) by means of electrical connections (21), in order to transmit extremely high frequencies. In the case of a printed circuit board arrangement such as this, RF-compatible electrical connections are made between the printed circuit boards in a simple and space-saving manner when the printed circuit boards are fitted on the base plate and without any further necessary additional tasks or reworking, in that the electrical connections are each made via at least one contact-making element (21), via which the printed circuit boards make detachable electrical contact with one another when mounted on the base plate (13?).

  • Patent number: 8942532
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cable gland (1) having a flange (3) and a plug-in part (2) suited for an operational connection to the flange (3). The plug-in part (2) comprises a locking sleeve (4), and a fastener (7) for a connector (8), said fastener being operatively connected to said locking sleeve by way of a control slide (10). The control slide (10) is configured such that a rotation of the locking sleeve (4) around the longitudinal axis (x) of the plug-in part (2) results in an axial displacement of the fastener (7) in a longitudinal direction.

  • Patent number: 8801459
    Abstract: The invention relates to a coaxial connector (1), comprising a first and a second connector part (2, 3) and an adapter (4) arranged therebetween. The first and the second connector part (2, 3) include a first inner conductor (5) and a first outer conductor (8), including a first internal cylindrical contact surface (24) and a second internal cylindrical contact surface (25), respectively. In a socket area (17) of the first inner conductor (5), a first mechanical operative-connection means interacts with a second mechanical operative-connection means (11) in the installed state in order to establish a mechanical connection (13) that is effective in the axial direction (z). The first inner conductor (5) protrudes beyond the level of the mechanical operative-connection means (10, 11) so the internal cylindrical contact surface (24) is able to compensate a large axial offset (dz) of the connector parts (2, 3) relative to the adapter (4).
