  • Publication number: 20220285896
    Abstract: An RF multi connector system includes a multi plug connector and a multi socket connector. The multi plug connector contains a plurality of first connectors circularly arranged around a center axis. The multi socket connector contains a plurality of second connectors circularly arranged around the center axis and matching to the corresponding first connectors of the multi plug connector. The multi plug connector additionally includes a lock rotor that is connected to a locking knob and that contains an outer thread having a plurality of longitudinal thread grooves. The outer thread matches to an inner thread of the multi socket connector.

  • Publication number: 20220158395
    Abstract: A coaxial RF connector system comprises RF connectors with inner and outer conductors providing a galvanic contact. An outer conductor of a first connector has a plurality of longitudinal slits forming a plurality of spring-loaded contact elements which contact a solid outer conductor of a second connector. The first connector has a centering sleeve which is one monolithic part with the outer conductor for centering the solid outer conductor of the second connector. An insulation sleeve is provided between the centering sleeve and the solid outer conductor. This prevents a galvanic contact and improves PIM.

  • Patent number: 9570790
    Abstract: A RF connector assembly, suitable for millimeter waves comprises a housing, holding a transmission line and a RF connector. The transmission line has a band conductor held in an outer conductor. The band conductor is supported by a plurality of holding pins. The holding pins are fixed by holes in the outer conductor and penetrate the inner conductor through holes therein. The holding pins are injection molded parts made of plastic. They comprise of two sections which can be connected together by a plug and socket connection. One end of the transmission line has a printed circuit board contact for contacting a strip line, while the other end of the transmission line has a contact for connecting the inner conductor of the RF connector.
