Abstract: A coaxial connector, the coaxial connector interconnectable with a coaxial cable by a process including providing a connector body with a bore; inserting a leading end of the coaxial cable into the bore from a cable end of the connector body, and laser welding between the outer conductor and the connector body from a connector end of the connector body.

Abstract: An inner contact for a coaxial connector includes: an elongate, generally cylindrical body having a longitudinal axis and first and second opposed ends; and a plurality of spring fingers extending from the first end of the body generally parallel to the longitudinal axis, each of the spring fingers having a projection extending radially inwardly from a free end thereof. Each spring finger is separated from each of its immediately adjacent spring fingers by a slot. Each of the projections has opposed side edge portions, and wherein the side edge portions incline with increasing distance from an adjacent slot.

Abstract: A method of forming a solder joint between a coaxial cable and a coaxial connector includes the steps of: positioning a solder element between an end of an outer conductor of the coaxial cable and a connector body of the connector, wherein the solder element is positioned within a vacuum chamber; melting the solder element to form a solder joint between the outer conductor and the connector body, the solder joint including a lower surface formed by contact with a mounting structure; and applying suction to the melting solder element to reduce the formation of bubbles within the solder joint.

Abstract: A strain relief for a coaxial cable and coaxial connector interconnection is provided as an injection moldable polymer material surrounding the interconnection. The injection moldable material fills a solder pre-form cavity between an outer conductor of the coaxial cable and an inner diameter of a bore of the connector body, strengthening and environmentally sealing the interconnection. Where the outer conductor is corrugated, the polymer material may be provided covering an exposed portion of the corrugations and/or filling portions of a corrugation trough between an outer jacket and the outer diameter of the outer conductor.
