Patent number: 6149460Abstract: An RF plug connection system includes a contact part which can preferably be crimped to an RF conductor in an RF cable, an insulating part that holds the contact part, at least one insulation-piercing terminal contact holder which can be disposed on the RF cable and an intermediate housing which holds and preferably guides the insulation-piercing terminal contact holder. The insulation-piercing terminal contact holder has at least one blade which makes contact with an outer conductor of the RF cable when the insulation-piercing terminal contact holder is pressed against the RF cable. An outer housing is fitted over the intermediate housing.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 1998Date of Patent: November 21, 2000Assignee: Tyco Electronics Logistics AGInventors: Martin Straeb, Jan Dessin, Edgard Acke, Joris Dobbelaere, Dimitri Meulemeester

Patent number: 6132244Abstract: A RF coaxial angle-connector part embodied as a coaxial connector-part module having coaxial connector parts disposed at the front in a housing. The metallized-plastic housing has, on a bottom at an edge, a multiplicity of contact bearing feet with bearing surfaces which constitute SMD connections. The contact bearing feet are used both for mounting the housing on a base as well as for conductively connecting the SMD connections to connections that are allocated to the latter on the base. The conductive connections between coaxial inner conductors of the coaxial connector parts and the SMD connections includes insulated metallic inner-conductor connection pieces that have in each case two sections which are disposed essentially perpendicular to one another. The two sections include an inner-conductor plug part and an SMD inner-conductor foot.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 1998Date of Patent: October 17, 2000Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Reginald Leeman, Edgard Acke, Bernard Houtteman, Roger Schoubben

Patent number: 6071127Abstract: An HF coaxial plug connector includes coaxial plugs disposed in a multiple plug housing-coaxial plug module, and coaxial sockets disposed in a multiple socket housing-coaxial socket module for use in circuits, especially in printed circuit board technology. Coaxial outer conductors of the coaxial socket module are at least partly integrated with its housing in the form of sheaths which act as coaxial outer conductors and extend in the housing toward its insertion side for the coaxial plug module. Insulating plastic sheaths which are inserted into these thus-created coaxial outer conductors, receive coaxial inner conductors therein.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 1998Date of Patent: June 6, 2000Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Edgard Acke, Reginald Leeman, Bernard Houtteman

Patent number: 6057510Abstract: An insulation displacement connection device for coaxial cables includes a conductive housing having a cable connection stub and a device for insulation displacement connection of outer and inner cable conductors. The stub has at least one recess formed therein extending crosswise to a center axis and being open toward the outside, for introducing the device. The device cuts through an outer insulating cable sheath and contacts the outer cable conductor upon being plugged into the recess. The device is self-clampingly retained in the recess in a plugged-in state. An insulation displacement connection device for electrically joining a first electrical conductor to a second electrical conductor includes a slit being formed in the first conductor and being constructed and dimensioned with a width being at least partially less than the diameter of the second conductor.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 1995Date of Patent: May 2, 2000Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventor: Edgard Acke

Patent number: 6050828Abstract: An RF coaxial plug connector part includes coaxial plug parts disposed at a front of a housing of a coaxial plug part module mounted on or attached to a board, for example a printed circuit board. The housing has a grid-type frame which defines its external dimensions, is open on all sides, has frame parts that are disposed at right angles to one another, and is made of a first plastic, which cannot be metallized. Free spaces in the grid-type frame are completely filled with cable inserts which are DC-isolated from one another by the frame parts and are made of a second plastic, which can be metallized. At least one coaxial connecting cable, which extends from the front surface to the lower surface of the housing is integrated in each of the cable inserts.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 1998Date of Patent: April 18, 2000Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Reginald Leeman, Edgard Acke, Bernard Houtteman, Roger Schoubben, Kris Germonpre

Patent number: 6045402Abstract: A high-frequency coaxial right-angle connector element has coaxial connecting lines disposed in a housing. The housing is formed from metallized plastic and is provided with many contact bases peripherally on its underside. The contact bases serve to fasten the housing onto or on a board and to connect the coaxial connecting lines with associated terminals on the board. The coaxial connecting lines are inserted into straight tubular leadthroughs in the housing, formed in a plane parallel to the underside of the housing. The leadthroughs have groovelike recesses on the rear of the housing, in which the rear end pieces of the internal conductors extend downwardly out of the housing.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 1998Date of Patent: April 4, 2000Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Georges Embo, Edgard Acke, Reginald Leeman
