  • Patent number: 11677166
    Abstract: An outer conductor contact element for a plug connector arrangement, having a fixing stop which engages behind a cable-side end face of a support sleeve and along a longitudinal axis (L) of the plug connector arrangement, and the cable-side end face is remote from a front, free end of the outer conductor contact element, and the fixing stop is formed in the outer conductor contact element by a male connector-side edge of a material cut-out in the outer conductor contact element that is proximate to a front, free end of the outer conductor contact element. Alternatively, or in addition, the fixing stop is formed by a separate stop element that is fastened to an inner wall of the outer conductor contact element. Alternatively, or in addition, the fixing stop is formed by a stamped shaping in the outer conductor contact element.

  • Publication number: 20210399512
    Abstract: The invention relates to a measurement method for producing an electric cable. According to the method, the front side end of a support sleeve secured to the cable is brought into contact with a reference stop of a reference device. The axial distance between the front end and an inner conductor part secured to an inner conductor of the cable and the reference stop is detected, and a connection distance (y) between the front end of the inner conductor part and the support sleeve front end facing the inner conductor part is derived from the axial distance.

  • Patent number: 10396472
    Abstract: A method for producing a permanent mechanical and electrical connection between a stranded wire and a connecting element, one end of the stranded wire being welded to the connecting element, the end of the stranded wire being introduced into a crimping recess of the connecting element prior to welding, and the connecting element being additionally crimped with the stranded wire. Crimped welded joints produced using this method are taught.

  • Patent number: 10014599
    Abstract: A crimp tool for creating a crimp connection between a coaxial cable having an inner conductor, an outer conductor, and a coaxial connector having an outer conductor part, employing an anvil to hold the outer conductor part, the anvil having a recess with an arcuate face of a first radius of curvature, and anvil arm points at each end of the arcuate face, and employing a die to apply the crimping force, the die having a recess with an arcuate face of a second radius of curvature, wherein said die recess extends over an internal angle of approximately 180°, terminating in two parallel arms, where a radial force is applied from outside on the outer conductor part over at least a part of the circumference of the outer conductor part, such that a cold weld is achieved.

  • Patent number: 9906005
    Abstract: A method for the automated processing of an end of a cable, which has an inner part and a sleeve surrounding the inner part, wherein one section of the sleeve is radially widened. The radially widened section of the sleeve is severed by the exertion of an axial cutting force in one region. A device suitable for implementing this method for the radial widening of a section of the sleeve and a cutting device having a first cutting body and a second cutting body, which can be moved toward each other in the axial direction with respect to the cable end and, as a result, sever the radially widened section of the sleeve in one region.

  • Patent number: 9270037
    Abstract: A method and crimping tool for creating a crimp connection between a coaxial cable having an inner conductor, an outer conductor, a dielectric between the outer conductor and inner conductor, a jacket made of an electrically insulating material surrounding the outer conductor, and a coaxial connector having an outer conductor part. A hollow cylindrical supporting sleeve is arranged on the jacket. A section of the outer conductor from which the jacket has been stripped is pulled over the supporting sleeve, so that this section of the outer conductor is at least in part arranged radially on the outside of the supporting sleeve, with the outer conductor part enclosing the supporting sleeve and lying on the outside, wherein a radial force is applied from outside on the outer conductor part over at least a part of the circumference of the outer conductor part, such that a cold weld is achieved.

  • Publication number: 20100317226
    Abstract: A coaxial right-angle connector having a cable-side inner conductor part with two contact sections arranged at a distance from each other, parallel to a longitudinal axis of the cable-side inner conductor part, and in a plane perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the plug-side inner conductor part. The distance between the contact sections is larger than the pre-determined diameter of the rod of the plug-side inner conductor part. A plate-type contact element is arranged on each contact section. The plate-shaped contact elements are tipped respectively relatively to the contact sections in such a way that the free edges of the plate-shaped contact elements firm a long slit between each other. The distance between the free edges of the plate-shaped contact elements is smaller than the pre-determined diameter of the rod on the free end thereof.

  • Publication number: 20080313892
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing an end of a cable, especially a coaxial cable with an outer conductor, especially a braided outer conductor, for installing a plug-in connector, the outer conductor being exposed at the end of the cable, flared radially and bent back over a predetermined length in the axial direction away from the end of the coaxial cable. In the process, for flaring purposes, the outer conductor has a radial force applied to it over at lest part of the circumference of the cable.
