Abstract: Embodiments of an electrical connector may have a first end portion on which a first interface is arranged and a second end portion on which a second interface is arranged. The first interface and second interface can each be connected to a respective mating electrical connector. The first interface may form at least two contact element pairs with the second interface, each of the contact element pairs having a first contact element which is associated with the first interface and a second contact element which is mechanically connected to the first contact element and is associated with the second interface. A third interface between the first end portion and the second end portion may electrically and mechanically connect at least one of the contact element pairs to a printed circuit board on which the electrical connector may be mounted.

Abstract: An plug connector for electrical and mechanical connection to a mating plug connector has an outer conductor contact element and an inner conductor contact element. The inner conductor contact element has an inner-conductor-side contact region and the outer conductor contact element has an outer-conductor-side contact region. An inner-conductor-side contact plane is spanned by contact points of the inner-conductor-side contact region to contact a corresponding contact point of an inner conductor mating contact element. An outer-conductor-side contact plane is defined by contact points to contact a corresponding contact point of an outer conductor mating contact element.

Abstract: A jumper cable having an end prepared for connecting to a coupling assembly. The prepared end includes an inner conductor, an outer conductor having a helical outer surface contour, and a dielectric core disposed between the inner and outer conductors. A weld washer: (i) threadably engages the helical outer surface contour of the outer conductor, (iii) receives a deformed edge of the outer conductor through an opening in the washer, and (iv) is penetration welded to deformed edge of the outer conductor. Operationally, the face of the weld washer augments the flow of electrical current to electrically ground the outer conductor to the coaxial cable connector.
