Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
165 words
A coaxial connector module comprising, an electrically conductive casing (22, 23; 49) having a first end and a second end, the first end being angularly related to the second end; at least a first passage and a second passage each extending between the first end and the second end, there being a common wall formed between at least a portion of said first and second passages, a terminal (26; 45) disposed in each passage, each terminal having an end portion extending beyond the second end; securing means (24) extending from the second end for securing the casing on a printed circuit board; insulative members (44) in the passages for electrically insulating the terminals from said casing, characterized by each terminal having a further end portion extending beyond said first end and by a plurality of electrically conductive members (13), each member extending from the first end of the casing and surrounding said further end portion of one of the terminals extending beyond the first end.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
22 words
A module according to claim 1, wherein the passages are L-shaped and the first end is substantially perpendicular to the second end.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
The module according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the casing is a solid block (49).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
The module according to claim 3, wherein the passages are machined bores in the block (49).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
The module according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the securing means comprise a plurality of press-fit pins.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
The module according to claim 5, wherein at least a pair of the pins are disposed intermediate the terminals.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
46 words
The module according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the distance between the passages at the second end is less than the distance between the passages at the first end and said common wall is disposed between portions of the passages adjacent the second end.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
24 words
The module according to any of the claims 1-6, wherein the common wall is located between portions of the passages adjacent the second end.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
32 words
The module according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the electrically conductive members (13) extending from the first end are tubular and comprise the outer portion of a coaxial contact (12).
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
34 words
The module according to claim 9, wherein at least one of the tubular members carries a locking member (28) for locking the module to a housing (11) having openings for receiving the tubular members.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
27 words
A module according to claim 1, wherein the casing (22, 23) is box-like and the common wall is located between the two passages adjacent the second end.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
32 words
An electrical connector comprising at least one module as claimed according to claims 1-11 and an insulative housing having openings for receiving the members extending from the first end of the casing.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
230 words
Method of manufacturing a coaxial connector module comprising a plurality of electrical contact elements (12), each contact element (12) having a contact side in the form of a coaxial inner (14) and outer (13) contact part, and a connecting side for mounting on a printed circuit board (6), wherein at the connecting side each contact element (12) is provided with an electrical terminal (45), that is connected to the inner contact part (14) and is provided with a connecting end (26) for mounting on said printed circuit board (6), and a shield member (49) formed of a machined block of metal and accommodating each of said terminals (45) in a respective through hole in an electrically insulating manner, each of said through holes comprising a first hole and a second hole meeting oneanother in a meeting point characterized in that the method comprises the following steps: a. providing at least one additional hole in said shield member (49) running from the outsight surface to one of said meeting points; b. providing at least one of said terminals (45) in the form of a first and a second straight piece; c. inserting said first straight piece into said first hole to said meeting point and said second straight piece into said second hole to said meeting point; d. electrically connecting said first and said second straight pieces at said meeting point.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
29 words
Method according to claim 13 furthermore comprising the following steps: e. filling up said additional hole with insulating material and f. closing said additional hole with a metallic cover.
