  • Publication number: 20250007187
    Abstract: An electrical connector assembly comprises a shield terminal with a tubular portion for connection to a coaxial cable's shield conductor, a first outer ferrule crimped around the tubular portion and shield conductor, and a second outer ferrule crimped around the first ferrule with a second seam. The first ferrule is crimped over the shield terminal's tubular portion, while the second ferrule is crimped over the first ferrule and the outer insulative jacket of the coaxial cable. This configuration provides enhanced shielding and secure connection for coaxial cables, ensuring reliable signal transmission in various electrical applications.

  • Patent number: 12126131
    Abstract: A coaxial electrical cable assembly may include a central conductor disposed within a shield conductor of the coaxial cable. A coaxial electrical cable assembly may include a shield terminal having a tubular portion. The central conductor of the coaxial cable is disposed within the tubular portion and wherein the tubular portion is disposed within the shield conductor of the coaxial cable. A coaxial electrical cable assembly may include a first outer ferrule crimped around the shield conductor of the coaxial cable forming a first seam. A coaxial electrical cable assembly may include a second outer ferrule crimped around the first outer ferrule and forming a second seam. The first outer ferrule is arranged over the tubular portion of the shield terminal and the second outer ferrule is arranged over the first outer ferrule and an outer insulative jacket of the coaxial cable.

  • Publication number: 20240275096
    Abstract: Electrical connectors that support coupling of paired wire cables is described. The electrical connector includes an inner terminal cartridge and an insulator body. The inner terminal cartridge includes a pair of terminal cavities configured to retain a pair of inner terminals at elongate sides of the inner terminal cartridge. The inner terminal cartridge is insertable into the insulator body to simultaneously stage the inner terminals in a mating position in the insulator body.

  • Patent number: 11824319
    Abstract: A coaxial electrical cable assembly includes a central conductor disposed within a shield conductor of the coaxial cable and a shield terminal having a tubular portion. The central conductor of the coaxial cable is disposed within the tubular portion. The tubular portion is disposed within the shield conductor of the coaxial cable. The coaxial electrical cable assembly also includes a first outer ferrule crimped that is around the shield conductor of the coaxial cable and forms a first seam. The coaxial electrical cable assembly further includes a second outer ferrule that is crimped around the first outer ferrule and forms a second seam. The first seam and the second seam are radially offset from one another.

  • Patent number: 11637388
    Abstract: A coaxial cable assembly includes a coaxial cable having a shield conductor surrounding a central conductor, a shield terminal in contact with an inner surface of the shield conductor, and a ferrule configured to secure the shield terminal to the coaxial cable. The ferrule defines first and second crimping wings. The first and second crimping wings each having an arcuate shape and are compressively connected to an outer surface of the shield conductor. A distal end of the first crimping wing overlies a distal end of the second crimping wing. A method for forming the coaxial cable assembly and a crimping tool for attaching the ferrule to the coaxial cable is also provided.
