Abstract
Abstract A connector for connecting conductors of a coaxially shielded cable 100 to male contacts 80 disposed in a row comprise an inner contact for connecting an inner conductor 90 of the cable to a male contact 80, an outer rectangular-section contact 30 spaced and insulated from the inner contact and connected to an outer conductor 92 of the cable, and a further contact (40 or 60) electrically connecting the outer contact 30 to one of the male contacts 80.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
123 words
A connector for connecting conductors of coaxially shielded cables to non-coaxial male contacts disposed in a row, said connector characterised by a first inner contact compatible with each of a plurality of the male contacts, said first inner contact being electrically and mechanically connected to a first inner conductor of one of the coaxially shielded cables, an electrically insulating element surrounding the first inner contact, an outer rectangular-section contact surrounding the insulating element, electrically and mechanically connected to an outer conductor of one of the coaxially shielded cables and fastened to the jacket of said coaxial cable, and a further contact electrically connecting one or more of the outer contacts to one or more of said male contacts or to an external circuit.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
123 words
A connector for connecting conductors of coaxially shielded cables to non-coaxial male contacts disposed in a row, said connector characterised by a first inner contact compatible with each of a plurality of the male contacts, said first inner contact being electrically and mechanically connected to a first inner conductor of one of the coaxially shielded cables, an electrically insulating element surrounding the first inner contact, an outer rectangular-section contact surrounding the insulating element, electrically and mechanically connected to an outer conductor of one of the coaxially shielded cables and fastened to the jacket of said coaxial cable, and a further contact electrically connecting one or more of the outer contacts to one or more of said male contacts or to an external circuit.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
41 words
A connector according to claim 1 further characterised by an insulating coating selectively applied to the outer contact and to the further contact to leave said contacts exposed substantially only at the connection between said outer contact and the further contact.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
A connector according to claim 1 or claim 2, characterised in that said further contact is an auxiliary contact which is disposed among the male contacts.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
A connector according to claim 3, characterised in that the auxiliary contact is a square wave shaped springy metal strip.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
64 words
A connector according to claim 1 or claim 2, characterised in that said further contact is a supplemental contact compatible with each of a plurality of the male contacts, oriented substantially parallel to the outer contact, electrically and mechanically connected to said outer contact, and disposed for connection to a male contact adjacent to the male contact to which the inner contact is connected.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
58 words
A connector according to any preceding claim, characterised by a second inner contact compatible with each of a plurality of the male contacts, housed within the outer contact, separated from said outer contact and from the first inner contact by the insulating element, and electrically connected to a second inner conductor of one of the coaxially shielded cables.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
40 words
A connector according to any preceding claim, characterised in that the width of each outside face of the outer contact which lies along said row is slightly smaller than the center-to-center distance of the male contacts disposed in a row.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
16 words
A connector according to any preceding claim, characterised in that said male contacts comprise square posts.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
20 words
A connector according to any one of claims 1 to 7; characterised in that said male contacts comprise round pins.
