  • Patent number: 11450996
    Abstract: A connector assembly for connecting a cable to an electrical component includes an outer conductor sleeve and an insulator element. The outer conductor sleeve has an attachment portion and a plug portion. The insulator element is disposed within the outer conductor sleeve, at least partially in the plug portion. The cable is disposed with a cable end portion at least partially within the outer conductor sleeve in the attachment portion. The outer conductor sleeve has at least a first wall thickness region having a first wall thickness in the attachment portion and at least a second wall thickness region having a second wall thickness in the plug portion, the first wall thickness being greater than the second wall thickness. The insulator element is at least partially disposed in the second wall thickness region.

  • Patent number: 11404832
    Abstract: A connector assembly for connecting a cable to an electrical component includes a plug unit and a mating plug unit, which each have an outer conductor element, an insulator element and an inner conductor element. The insulator element is disposed within the outer conductor element and includes an inner conductor channel in which the inner conductor element is disposed. The insulator element of the plug unit forms a plug profile that extends around the inner conductor channel and has at least one projection and/or depression. The insulator element of the mating plug unit forms a mating plug profile that corresponds to a negative of the plug profile. The plug unit and the mating plug unit are connectable to one another in such a way that the plug profile and the mating plug profile rest against each other, at least in some areas.

  • Patent number: 10074462
    Abstract: A cable having a pluggable connector includes an inner conductor, an insulation disposed radially outwardly with respect to the inner conductor, a shield disposed radially outwardly with respect to the insulation and a jacket. A support ferrule has a plurality of tongues extending in a direction having an axial component. A sleeve has a first section, a second section and a third section. The first and second sections are disposed radially outwardly with respect to the support ferrule. The second section has a radial constriction. The sleeve encloses the tongues of the support ferrule in the second section and encloses the jacket in the third section. The second section is disposed in the axial direction between the first section and the third section.
