  • Patent number: 6149460
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 6132244
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 6071127
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 6057510
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 6050828
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 6045402
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 5894411
    Abstract: A stackable data carrier arrangement including a cardshaped carrier element, at least one integrated semiconductor circuit arranged on the carrier element, at least one external terminal arranged on the carrier element and connected to the semiconductor circuit for making electrical contact therewith, the external terminal being formed so as to circumscribe an edge area of the carrier element and having a respective terminal area on the edge area and adjoining opposite main areas of the carrier element, the terminal areas being electrically connected to one another, includes means defining two slots provided in the carrier element, the slots extending parallel to one another from the edge area into the carrier element to approximately the same extent as the external terminal arranged between the slots, so that a contact tooth bendable perpendicularly to the main areas of the carrier element is formed by the region of the carrier element situated between the slots.
