Abstract: The present invention relates to a connecting device for coaxial conductors, comprising a terminal strip incorporated in a multipolar contact device. According to the invention, one end of a connecting member (6) has the form of a sleeve (9) which is firmly pressed into electrically-conducting contact with an exposed outer end of the screen (10) of the coaxial conductor (5). The other end of the connecting member (6) has the form of a flat, square plate (11) having provided in the corners thereof holes (12) for electrical contact with corresponding pins (3) in the terminal strip (2) and with a free opening (13) located centrally in relation to the holes (12) and encircling a corresponding, centrally located pin (4) in the terminal strip (2). The central conductor (14) of the coaxial conductor (5) is soldered or wired to the central pin (4).
Abstract: A packaged connector 1 comprising, a preassembled connector 1 in a transparent package 25, a conductive contact 7 having a friction socket 18 facing an open end of the package 25, and a loose ferrule 24 precisely positioned by the package 25 concentrically with a barrel 21 of the connector 1 for one step crimp connection of the ferrule 24 on a shield 5 of a cable 2, a concentric space 31 defined between the ferrule 24 and the barrel 21 to receive the shield 5 of the cable 2.
