Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of mounting a triaxial connector to a cable using a radially deformable collet including an inner wall, an outer wall, a first end and a second end, the ends separated by a width. Slots from the inner wall to the outer wall extend from the first end toward the second end partially across the width and slots from the inner wall to the outer wall extend from the second end toward the first end partially across the width, the number of slots from the first end being equal to the number of the slots from the second end. The inner wall defines a diameter sized to receive a transmission line cable and includes ridges extending from the first end to the second end. The outer wall defines a diameter tapering in a single direction from the first end to the second end, the outer diameter being greater at the first end than at the second end.

Abstract: High frequency edge mount connector apparatus comprises a connector including a housing that forms an opening and a signal carrier in the housing allowing for low return loss and low insertion loss. The signal carrier has a pin which extends through the opening. The connector also includes an insulator in the housing and surrounding the signal carrier, wherein the insulator has a outer portion surrounding the pin and extending through the opening. By extending the insulator through the opening, a tight seal can be created when the connector is pressed against a circuit board. The seal allows for improved impedance matching for a signal traveling between the connector and the circuit board.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a center conductor insulator with a tapered entry for use with a coaxial cable transmission line connector that provides guiding and centering of a center conductor pin within the connector. The present invention further relates to a front sleeve assembly for use with a coaxial cable transmission line connector which incorporates a center conductor insulator with a tapered entry to guide and center a center conductor pin within the connector. The present invention also relates to a compression ring assembly for mounting a connector to a cable, the assembly having a collet engaging a tapered rear seal to compress the collet about the cable. The present invention further relates to a method of mounting a connector to a cable with a compression ring assembly incorporating a collet and tapered rear seal.
