Abstract: A controlled impedance compressible electrical connector having a housing with at least one terminal receiving cavity which extends from a first surface of the housing to a second surface of the housing. A terminal assembly is positioned in each of the at least one terminal receiving cavities of the housing. The terminal assembly has a first fixed center terminal, a second movable center terminal, a fixed outer shell, a movable outer shell, and a resilient member. The terminal assembly is configured to allow impedance of the electrical connector to be maintained as the second movable center terminal and the movable outer shell are moved relative to the first fixed center terminal, the fixed outer shell and the housing.

Abstract: A connector system includes an adapter with a first mating portion, a second mating portion and a transition portion. A continuous outer wall extends across the first mating portion, the transition portion and the second mating potion. A first terminal positioned in the adapter. At least one receptacle has a receptacle mating section and a receptacle transition section. A continuous receptacle outer conductive wall extends across the receptacle mating section and the receptacle transition section. A receptacle inner wall extends perpendicular to the receptacle outer wall. A second terminal is positioned in the at least one receptacle. A retention member is provided in the receptacle mating section. The continuous outer wall and the continuous receptacle outer wall form a grounding shield minimizing signal leakage from the first terminal and the second terminal.

Abstract: A coaxial connector assembly includes a connector module having a connector body that includes contact channels. The coaxial connector assembly includes coaxial contacts received in the corresponding contact channels having a center contact, a conductive shell coaxial with the center contact and an insulator between the center contact and the conductive shell. The coaxial connector assembly includes positioning adapters received in the corresponding contact channels having an adapter body forming an adapter bore that receives the coaxial contact. The adapter body engages the retention feature to position the coaxial contact relative to the adapter body and engages the connector body to position the coaxial contact in the contact cavity. The adapter component enables multiple coaxial contact sizes to be used in the same connector module contact channel.

Abstract: A coaxial connector assembly includes a connector module having a connector body that includes contact cavities extending between a front side and a rear side of the connector body. The connector module has a cover having openings. Coaxial contacts are received in corresponding contact cavities each having a coaxial signal element and outer contact. The outer contact has a cable segment coupled to a coaxial cable and a mating segment. The cable segment has a front section and a rear section having a larger diameter than the front section and located rearward of the cover to receive the cable. The front section passes through the opening into the contact cavity to engage the mating segment. Biasing springs are located between the cover and the mating segment of the coaxial contact to bias the coaxial contact in the mating direction.

Abstract: A connector assembly is provided comprising, a conductive shell extending between a mating end and a back end opposite the mating end. The shell being generally cylindrical and extending along a longitudinal axis. The shell having a chamber forward of a base and being open at the mating end for receiving the mating connector. The base having an insulator pocket aligned with the longitudinal axis and extending between the chamber and the back end. And a center pin received in the pocket and extending through the base along the longitudinal axis into the chamber for mating with the mating connector. The center pin having a terminating end extending from the back end. And an insulator formed in place in the pocket around the center pin to electrically isolate the center pin from the shell. The insulator maintaining a position of the center pin along the longitudinal axis.
