Abstract: A coaxial cable connector is provided for interconnecting coaxial cables having center and outer conductors. The coaxial cable connector utilizes a contact and shell arrangement defining a strip line geometry for the electric fields generated by signals passing through the coaxial cable connector. The contacts and shells may be formed with planar conductors aligned parallel to one another with a center conductive strip sandwiched between planar ground strips, all of which are separated by dielectric materials. The widths and thicknesses of the contact and ground planes, the spacing there between and the dielectric materials are manufacturable in an easy, reliable, and cost effective method.

Abstract: A coaxial right-angle plug connector includes a "clean" right-angle inner contact member having a continuous insulative cover molded therearound including the bend to be self-retaining thereon and to have consistently concentric coaxial outer surfaces, with larger diameter cover portions around the portion within the conductive housing. The front horizontal contact portion and the outer contact therearound mate with contact means of conventional receptacle connectors, while the vertical portion of the inner contact descends from the housing near the front thereof reducing the length of the signal path and lessening reflection.

Abstract: A phase shifter (1) in the form of an electrical connector comprises; an elongated conductive shell (2) of fixed length, electrical connector coupling means (5,6) at the ends (7,8) of the transmission line, an elongated passage (3) extending through the shell (2), an elongated electrical conductor (4) of fixed length extending through the passage, electrical contact means (22,23) at the ends of the conductor (4) for electrical coupling of the conductor (4) along the corresponding electronic transmission line, first dielectric means (31) and second dielectric means (43) concentrically encircling the conductor (4) within the passage (3), a conductive sleeve (38) within the passage (3) in engagement with the shell (2), and the second dielectric means (43) is between the sleeve (38) and the conductor (4).

Abstract: A connector assembly is disclosed for detachably connecting fiber optic cables with the fibers making a one-on-one engagement. The subject connector assembly includes means for spreading the fibers from the tightly packed bundle of the cable to a substantially circular array which allows the individual fibers to be mated on a one-to-one basis with like spread fibers of a second cable fixed in a mating connector half. Thus the subject connector obviates the previous problems of potting the fibers in a connector and the inefficiency of utilizing bundles of fibers mated together.
