Coaxial connector mounting means

Claim 2

A coaxial connector mounting means for mounting mateable coaxial connectors thereonto, which comprises: a. mounting block means having openings extending therethrough for receiving coaxial connectors therein; b. retaining plate means floatably mounted on said mounting block means; c. cantilever spring means provided by said retaining plate means for securing said coaxial connectors on said mounting block means, said cantilever spring means including projection means engageable by said coaxial connectors; and d. securing means provided by said mounting block means for securing said mounting block means together with mateable ones of the coaxial connector means in mating arrangement.

Claim 3

A coaxial connector mounting means according to claim 1 wherein said mounting block means are mounted in a stiffly-flexible manner in frame means which act as cantilever beams to pick up accumulated tolerances.

Claim 4

A coaxial connector mounting means according to claim 1 wherein said securing means are spring-biased latch arms.

Claim 5

A coaxial connector mounting means for mounting coaxial connector means thereonto, which comprises: a. mounting block means having opening therethrough for receiving the coaxial connector means therein, b. retaining plate means floatably mounted on said mounting block means, said retaining plate means including spring retaining means having cantilever beams for engagement with areas of said coaxial connector means to retain the coaxial connector means in said openings and to permit movement of said coaxial connector means in an X-Y plane and in a Z direction, said spring retaining means supported at both ends on the mounting block means.

Claim 6

A coaxial connector mounting means for mounting coaxial connector means thereonto, which comprises: a. mounting block means having opening therethrough for receiving the coaxial connector means therein, b. retaining plate means floatably mounted on said mounting block means, said retaining plate means including spring retaining means having cantilever beams for engagement with areas of said coaxial connector means to retain the coaxial connector means in said openings and to permit movement of said coaxial connector means in an X-Y plane and in a Z direction, said spring retaining means supported at both ends on the mounting block means.

Claim 7

A coaxial connector mounting means according to claim 4 wherein said cantilever beams include projection means for engagement with the areas of the coaxial connector means.

Claim 8

A coaxial connector mounting means for mounting coaxial connectors thereonto comprising mounting block means having openings extending therethrough for receiving first coaxial connectors in some of said openings, sleeve means disposed in the remainder of said openings for receiving therein second coaxial connectors, means provided by said sleeve means and on said second coaxial connectors for polarizing said second coaxial connectors in said sleeve means, retaining plate means mounted on said mounting block means and including retaining means engageable with areas of said first coaxial connectors and said sleeve means for retaining the first coaxial connectors and said sleeve means in said openings, and means provided by said sleeve means and said mounting block means polarizing said sleeve means in position on said mounting block means.

Claim 9

A coaxial connector mounting means for mounting coaxial connectors thereonto comprising mounting block means having openings extending therethrough for receiving first coaxial connectors in some of said openings, sleeve means disposed in the remainder of said openings for receiving therein second coaxial connectors, means provided by said sleeve means and on said second coaxial connectors for polarizing said second coaxial connectors in said sleeve means, retaining plate means mounted on said mounting block means and including retaining means engageable with areas of said first coaxial connectors and said sleeve means for retaining the first coaxial connectors and said sleeve means in said openings, and means provided by said sleeve means and said mounting block means polarizing said sleeve means in position on said mounting block means.

Claim 10

A coaxial connector mounting means according to claim 6 wherein spring-biased latch means are provided on one of said mounting block means for latching engagement with another of said mounting block means to hold the mounting block means in a latched condition and the coaxial connectors thereon in mating engagement.
