Abstract

Abstract A connector for a coaxial cable which includes, from the inside to the outside, a central conductor or core (1), an electrically insulative covering, an outer conductor (4) and a sheath (5), wherein said connector includes an outer body (10) which surrounds an insulating sleeve (13) disposed round a conductive connection member (14) whose rear end is connected by means of a hoop to the outer conductor (4) of said cable, said conductive connection member itself surrounding, firstly at its front end an annular conductor (18) which opens out at the front end of the connector and secondly in its mid-portion two concentric parts (19,20) of conical cross-section between which the end of said electrically insulative covering is gripped, said conical parts being clamped by means of a clamping component (25) which abuts against a distance piece (26), an insulating sleeve (28) being disposed between said annular conductor, said conductive connection member and an annular part (29) connected to the front portion of said outer body and surrounding the front end of the connector, an insulating part (33) also being disposed at the front end of said annular connector and a pin (34) connected to the core of said cable, insulating bushes (35,36,37) also being provided round said core in the mid-portion of the connector. The invention is applied to undersea high-frequency technologies.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 198 words
A connector for a coaxial cable which includes, from the inside to the outside, a central conductor or core, an electrically insulative covering, an outer conductor and a sheath, wherein said connector includes an outer body which surrounds an insulating sleeve disposed around a conductive connection member whose rear end is connected by means of a hoop to the outer conductor of said cable, said conductive connection member itself surrounding, firstly at its front end an annular conductor which opens out at the front end of the connector and secondly in its mid-portion two concentric parts of conical cross-section between which the end of said electrically insulative covering is gripped, said conical parts being clamped by means of a clamping component which abuts against a distance piece, an insulating sleeve being disposed between said annular conductor, said conductive connection member and an annular part connected to the front portion of said outer body and surrounding the front end of the connector, an insulating part also being disposed at the front end of said connector and a pin connected to the core of said cable, insulating bushes also being provided around said core in the mid-portion of the connector.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 198 words
A connector for a coaxial cable which includes, from the inside to the outside, a central conductor or core, an electrically insulative covering, an outer conductor and a sheath, wherein said connector includes an outer body which surrounds an insulating sleeve disposed around a conductive connection member whose rear end is connected by means of a hoop to the outer conductor of said cable, said conductive connection member itself surrounding, firstly at its front end an annular conductor which opens out at the front end of the connector and secondly in its mid-portion two concentric parts of conical cross-section between which the end of said electrically insulative covering is gripped, said conical parts being clamped by means of a clamping component which abuts against a distance piece, an insulating sleeve being disposed between said annular conductor, said conductive connection member and an annular part connected to the front portion of said outer body and surrounding the front end of the connector, an insulating part also being disposed at the front end of said connector and a pin connected to the core of said cable, insulating bushes also being provided around said core in the mid-portion of the connector.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 35 words
A connector according to claim 1, including gaps provided between said parts of conical cross-section, said conductive connection member, said clamping component and said insulating bushes, said gaps being filled in with an insulating compound.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 48 words
A connector according to claim 1, including firstly an outer packing gasket disposed between the rear portions of said body and of said insulating sleeve and clamped by a hollow nut, and secondly an inner packing gasket disposed between the rear portion of said sleeve and the cable.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 30 words
A connector according to claim 1, including a guide part for the cable, which part is disposed in the hollow portion of the clamping nut of said outer packing gasket.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 35 words
A connector according to claim 1, including seal rings disposed in recesses provided in the front portions of the body and of the annular part which is connected to the front portion of said body.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 46 words
A connector according to claim 1, including a nozzle-shaped ring one of whose ends is inserted under the outer conductor of said cable, said ring being suitable for holding said electrically insulating covering while making the outer conductor of said cable continuous and maintaining its impedance.
