  • Patent number: 5327642
    Abstract: An assembly, and associated method for constructing such, for connecting an electrical circuit to an electrical cable, such as an antenna connector pin, or, alternately, to a coaxial transmission line. An antenna circuit board includes a circular aperture extending therethrough for receiving a socket member to be supported thereat. Angled, segmental-slots are formed about the circular aperture and receive projecting prong-members of a clip member. The socket member receives the electrical cable, such as the antenna connector pin, or a coaxial conductor pin therein. The clip member engages with a coaxial tube of the coaxial transmission line. The assembly permits alternate connection thereto of either the electrical cable or the coaxial transmission line thereat.

  • Patent number: 4598969
    Abstract: The cable shield is removed for a short distance from the end cable wire to be inserted into a contact. A generally circular plate has a flange permitting receipt within the connector part shell and a circumferential spring for insuring continuous electrical contact. A plurality of openings are formed in the plate which align with the individual openings in the connector insert. Each plate opening includes a hollow cylindrical metal tube affixed therein with an internal bore enabling receipt of a cable wire with shield and cladding. A leaf spring contact electrode is secured to the wire shield spaced from the cable wire end and lies within the hollow tube, the prepared end of the wire passing out the other end of the tube for receipt within a contact. The plate with tubes is then fitted within the connector part shell providing termination.
