Abstract: A radio frequency connector assembly may include a first RF connector that includes a tubular electrically conductive body having a radially compressible end, and a second RF connector that includes an electrically conductive housing having a passageway therethrough. The passageway may define a throat segment having a constant diameter equal to or larger than the radially compressible end and a contact ramp segment adjacent the throat segment and configured to compress the radially compressible end. The contact ramp segment may have a progressively decreasing diameter defining a curvature. The passageway may also define a medial segment having a constant diameter equal to a diameter of an adjacent portion of the contact ramp segment, and a capture segment adjacent the medial segment having a diameter larger than the medial segment. A dielectric body may be carried by the housing supporting an electrically conductive pin.

Abstract: A multi feed-through pin electrical connector has a pin-count layout that corresponds to the form factor of the pin layout of a micro-size (e.g., nano-type) multipin connector, but contains only a relatively small number of feed-through pins, locations of which are those of selected pins of the micro-sized multipin connector. This allows adjacent pin locations of the relatively small pin-count layout to be spaced farther apart from each other than pin locations of conventional micro-sized multipin connectors, so that the available wire-connection surface areas of the interior ends of the feed-through pins may be substantially increased relative to those of conventional micro-sized multipin connectors, and thereby facilitate secure wire-bonding to the interior ends of the pins.
